Rashford is due to sign with Villa on-loan to the end of the season with an option to buy for £40m.
The England attacker will continue to be paid his £325,000-a-week wages, with United contributing to 25 per cent of his salary for the remainder of the season.
A United source told The Sun: “Marcus always said he would never play for another club in England because he is a United fan.
“He started to think he needed to move earlier this season and wanted to go to a big European club.
“The reality is he’s not had the interest he expected. Villa first showed a tentative interest in him last November.
“Amorim has made it very clear he has no future at Old Trafford.
“Villa have managed to offer him two things — keeping his wage the same and Champions League football.”
