Manchester United Open Door for Rashford Return as Forward Agrees to Start Pre-Season Under Carrick

• Marcus Rashford could return to Manchester United after Fabrizio Romano revealed the club has held “amicable talks” with the England forward.

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford could be heading back to Old Trafford after transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that the club and the England international have held positive discussions ahead of the new season.

Rashford, who has two years remaining on his current Manchester United contract, spent last season at Barcelona, where he enjoyed an impressive campaign, scoring 14 goals and providing 14 assists as the Spanish giants lifted the La Liga title.

Despite uncertainty surrounding his long-term future, Romano disclosed that both parties have taken an important step towards rebuilding their relationship.

“Manchester United had direct contact with Rashford camp, amicable talks with #MUFC,” Romano wrote.

He added, “Man Utd open to welcoming Rashford back to training and Marcus open to start pre-season under Carrick.”

However, the transfer expert noted that Rashford’s future is still not completely settled.

“No guarantee he stays yet with eventual bids to be considered later on but important step to rebuild trust,” Romano stated.

The 28-year-old has been linked with several clubs after his proposed permanent move to Barcelona failed to materialise, with Tottenham Hotspur reportedly among the interested sides. However, his reported £40 million release clause is believed to be a stumbling block.

For now, Rashford remains focused on England’s World Cup campaign, with the Three Lions set to face DR Congo in the Round of 16 while questions over his club future continue.
