Marcus Rashford’s brother and agent, Dwaine Maynard, has been ‘spotted’ with Manchester City chiefs as a ‘conspicuous figure’ to watch his brother play football. Rashford moved to Villa on loan in January and managed four goals and six assists in a largely impressive spell before picking up a hamstring injury which looks set to rule him out for the rest of the campaign.

Marcus Rashford's agent was spotted in the directors' box at Etihad Stadium during Aston Villa's late defeat to Manchester City.

Manchester United and Aston Villa are discussing a early return for Marcus Rashford. Injury may end his loan early, but his long-term future is still up in the air.
