Manchester United's loss to Villa helped the 40 million deal, and Rashford's self-recommendation for Barcelona was rejected! Rajue still runs BBQ

Manchester United's 1-0 defeat in the Europa League final has all but the season is over, but they still have to play games to keep playing, including a final Premier League home game against Aston Villa, and the next two post-season commercial games against Malaysia Stars and Hong Kong SAR in the next two post-season business matches.

United's clash with Villa at Old Trafford doesn't mean much to the team, and in theory, the Reds could climb to 14th in the table, with a move up one place under Premier League rules and a whopping £2.3 million more in prize money. In other words, the Red Devils, who are in 16th place, could be aiming for £4.6 million in prize money in the final round.

However, opponents Villa are still in contention for fifth, with 66 points and a goal difference of nine, sitting in sixth place and qualifying for the Europa League. Third-placed Manchester City have a goal difference of 68 points and 26 goals, Newcastle United in fourth place have 66 points and 22 goal difference, and fifth-place Chelsea have 66 points and 20 goal difference. However, the Blues have a final round away to seventh-placed Nottingham Forest (65 points, 13 goal difference), so a win over Manchester United could give Villa a place in next season's Champions League.

Manchester United could buy Marcus Rashford for £40million this summer under Villa's loan deal, but Champions League qualification and related income will have a key impact on whether Unai Emery's side activate a permanent transfer clause. If Villa misses out of the Champions League, it will be impossible to bring in a coach with a weekly salary of £325,000.

According to Spain's "Le Monde Sport", Marcus Rashford and his specially hired super agent Pini Zahavi have proposed a loan-to-buy transfer plan to Barcelona, similar to Villa's contract this season, hoping that the 27-year-old Manchester United star can realize his dream at Camp Nou. Marcus Rashford made no secret of his longing for Barca, and after the Spanish national derby, he lashed out at Yamal on social media: "Young king!"

Unfortunately, Barcelona have stated that Marcus Rashford is not the first choice for manager Flick, whose sporting director Deco is said to be interested in Liverpool's Luis Dias and has already approached the player's team. As a result, Villa remain the more likely team to bring in a coach, but it depends on their Champions League qualification and financial situation.

Therefore, Manchester United, who have long been unwilling to fight, may be an adult beauty, help Villa, and hope that the other party will buy out Rashford. Amorim's side haven't won a league win in more than two months, with their last Premier League win coming on 17 March when they thrashed Ruud van Nistelrooy's relegated Leicester City 3-0. Fans joked that the Red Devils could stay in the game because of the £8 million worth of money from two games in Asia.

Theoretically, if Manchester United lose to Villa by 17 goals and Manchester City are held to a draw by Fulham, Villa even have a chance to rely on the advantage of goals to overtake Manchester City! Of course, this can't happen in reality.

Despite Manchester United's all-time Premier League ranking being the lowest in history despite having four of the biggest names this season, owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe still plans to continue with the post-season barbecue. According to previous British media reports, if the Red Devils win the Europa League, the club will not arrange a parade of floats, will have a barbecue in Carrington to celebrate, and then immediately take a 15-hour flight to Kuala Lumpur for a playoff trip after the Premier League game.

After the 1-0 defeat to Tottenham, it was expected that Rajue would cancel the gathering of players, coaches and family, but according to The Sun, Rajue and the Glazer family, who were travelling to Bilbao to watch the game, have announced that the barbecue will continue on Thursday or Friday night. Some people think that this may be to adapt to the culture of Hong Kong, China, as we all know, the protagonists of TVB dramas will have a BBQ in their own homes at every turn.
