Marcus Rashford Returns Manchester United Pre-Season Training Amid Transfer Uncertainty

Marcus Rashford is set to return to Manchester United for pre-season training despite a fallout with manager Ruben Amorim that led to his loan to Aston Villa during the latter half of last season. Amorim had publicly criticized Rashford's attitude and training commitment, resulting in Rashford's exile from the squad and limited appearances before his loan move. Though there has been no contact between Rashford and Amorim over the summer, Rashford reportedly intends to give 100 percent in training and participate fully in pre-season activities, including friendlies in Stockholm and the United States. Manchester United values Rashford at around £40 million and would prefer to sell him, but his high weekly wages remain a barrier in negotiations with clubs like Barcelona and Bayern Munich. While Rashford has expressed interest in playing for Barcelona, no formal bids have been made, and Aston Villa's option to buy is unlikely to be activated. Rashford, who has been keeping fit independently during the off-season, is expected to report to Carrington with the squad, though his long-term future at United remains uncertain.
