Aston Villa have officially confirmed that they will not be activating the £40 million buy option clause for Marcus Rashford.
The England international will now return to Manchester United, where his future remains uncertain ahead of the new season. Despite Villa's decision, the £40 million price tag remains available for any club interested in signing Rashford this summer.
The 27-year-old forward had been linked with a potential move following a mixed 2024/25 campaign, and his availability is expected to spark interest from several top clubs across Europe.
