Marcus Rashford won’t make a decision over his future until the summer.
The Manchester United star is on loan at Aston Villa, and it appears unlikely that he will return to OId Trafford while Ruben Amorim remains as head coach.
Rashford is under contract at United until 2028 and the club must decide whether to keep the England international, sell him or send him out on loan again.
However, Rashford will also have a say over his next move, and it’s understood that his representatives will not sit down for talks until mid-June at the earliest.
The 27-year-old does not want to move to London and is keen to join a club in the Champions League.
Villa’s hopes of qualification suffered a setback when they lost 2-1 to a 94th-minute winner at Manchester City on Tuesday night after Rashford had equalised from the penalty spot.

His camp have also ruled out a player exchange with the likes of Villa’s Ollie Watkins and Eberechi Eze, of Crystal Palace, due to the complexities of a swap deal.
Rashford has earned an England recall on the back of his improved form since leaving United for Villa, contributing four goals and six assists in 17 appearances for Unai Emery’s side.
He is said to be happy at Villa Park where he gets on well with his teammates and the coaching staff.
Rashford is focused on finishing the season there after helping Villa into the FA Cup semi-finals against Crystal Palace at Wembley on Saturday, and contention for a return to the Champions League having narrowly lost out to favourites Paris Saint-Germain in the last eight.
Asked about Rashford’s progress at the Etihad on Tuesday night, Emery said: ‘I am so happy with him, he is performing very well. His adaptation has been quick, his commitment to the team and his teammates and the process we are doing together.
‘He has been really important for us and he has to keep going. Now, on Saturday, hopefully he can help us again and, like everybody, be ready and focussed on this match.’
