Marcus Rashford’s awkward limbo between Manchester United and everywhere else is about to end. The club expects the England forward to return to pre-season training following the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with a mandatory three-week recovery period bridging the gap between international duty and club football.
The timeline means Rashford should be available for pre-season matches.
Barcelona said no thanks
Barcelona had a reported €30 million buy option attached to Rashford’s loan deal. They chose not to activate it.
Rashford remains under contract with Manchester United until 2028.
