Overview
- Rashford returned to Manchester United’s training base and travelled to the club’s pre-season camp in County Kildare on Sunday, linking up with the full squad.
- Head coach Michael Carrick has publicly included Rashford in his plans for the Dublin camp and will use pre-season to assess whether the player fits into his first-team group.
- The club has assigned Rashford the No.14 shirt, a signal from United that he may be reintegrated unless a suitable transfer arrives.
- United have not decided his long-term future because Rashford’s wages, reported around £300,000–£325,000 a week, and his contract to 2028 limit transfer options and have produced only limited interest, with Fenerbahce among the clubs reportedly linked.
- Rashford’s return follows a productive loan at Barcelona in 2025–26 but Barcelona declined their buy clause, and United are expected to make a final call on sale or retention late in the summer transfer window.
