Manchester United attacker Sancho is determined to join Villa on loan. British media "tbrfootball" exclusively reported that Rashford's persuasion played a role in Sancho's decision.
This summer window Sancho has been a problem for Manchester United. Although many clubs have expressed strong interest in the players, Sancho was unwilling to leave at the time. Chelsea, Roma and Naples were reportedly close to reaching a deal with Sancho, but the negotiations ultimately failed due to his over-requirement requirements. But now, Villa and Manchester United have reached a consensus on a loan plan that is beneficial to both sides.
According to TBR Football Chief Reporter Grame Bailey, before the deal was finalized, Rashford had communicated with Sancho and highly praised the experience of Villa Park. As we all know, Rashford spent a successful loan period in Villa in the second half of last season, which also helped him get the opportunity to join Barcelona.
Graeme Bailey said: "I heard Sancho talked with Rashford before completing the deal - Sancho wanted to make sure he had a full understanding of the new environment. And Rashford strongly supported the transfer, and told Sancho what he could expect, which played some role in Sancho's decision to transfer."
Sancho's talent has never been doubted, but he has struggled to continue to perform well in recent years. Sancho had brief highlights during his time at Manchester United, but these were not enough to prove his worth.
Emery is known for reactivated players' careers and talents. Renting Sancho is seen as an adventure, but in the face of poor performance at the beginning of the season, the team urgently needs Sancho, a dynamic, fast attacker. But it remains to be seen whether Sancho, 25, can reproduce his performance in the Bundesliga.
