Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: "I could have bet you any money in the world that Rashford would come alive for Aston Villa. Fantastic, but wait until Villa have got to write a cheque out. I think they're too canny and too wise to fall into this trap. It's one thing having a player on loan, playing a small percent of his wages so it's a small transaction. You have him for four months, it costs you £5-6million, nothing, nobody cares. Everybody knew Marcus Rashford was going to lift a leg at Villa. I think the system helps as well. I just think Villa are too wise for it and first of all, they're not going to want to pay over £300,000 a week and a transfer fee. It's too big of a deal."
