Overview
- Marcus Rashford was reintegrated into Manchester United’s squad and made a substitute appearance in the club’s final pre-season friendly against AC Milan on Saturday.
- Interim manager Michael Carrick has publicly called Rashford “our player” and said he has trained with the squad and is expected to be involved this season.
- Team-mate Harry Maguire urged the board to keep Rashford, calling him a “big asset” who threatened Milan’s back line when introduced off the bench.
- United and owners INEOS remain willing to consider offers, but Rashford’s high wages and his contract through 2028 have deterred concrete bids and reduced possible suitors.
- A final decision is likely late in the transfer window, a choice that will affect United’s attacking options for the season and the club’s wage bill if they decide to sell.
