Rashford has scored 138 goals in 426 appearances for Manchester United after coming through the club’s youth system and breaking into the senior side in 2016. He has lifted the Europa League, two FA Cups and two Carabao Cups.
However, the striker had not featured for United since mid-December after admitting he was ready for a new challenge in his career.
Manager Ruben Amorim called into question the forward’s work-rate and defended his decision to again omit him from his squad for their win over Fulham last month, insisting he would rather put a goalkeeper coach on the bench than a player not giving their all.
Rashford has also scored 17 goals for England. He has played in two World Cups and two European Championships for his country.
Villa have also signed Spanish fullback Andres Garcia from Levante and Dutch striker Donyell Malen from Borussia Dortmund in the January transfer window.
