Marcus Rashford has been open to it all along, but very few actually believed the Manchester United outcast would ever wear the shirt of his boyhood club again. Until now.

The i Paper has been told that Ineos are now focusing on bringing in at least two more midfielders this summer, which means they may not bring in another left-winger as originally planned.

Manuel Ugarte’s serious injury, suffered at the World Cup, has left Kobbie Mainoo and the incoming Ederson as the only two senior midfielders in the squad. Ugarte had been considered one of the players up for sale as part of a fundraising effort to strengthen other areas of the team.

To fill that gap, Rashford could be brought back into the camp. He is a forward reborn in Barcelona after his successful loan spell, with his impressive form continuing at the World Cup.

What next for Rashford?
