What happens next with Rashford and Man Utd?
Marcus Rashford is expected to return to Manchester United training in the coming days as debate continues over whether that is a good thing or not.
The return of Marcus Rashford to Manchester United appears imminent after a season-long loan at Barcelona. In July 2025, the 28-year-old was unveiled by Barcelona, where he helped the team win the La Liga title, the Spanish Super Cup, and reach the Champions League quarter-finals. However, Barcelona decided not to activate the £26 million buyout clause, leading to Rashford's return to Old Trafford.
United has already signed new players Matheus Cunha and Anthony Gordon, which may impact the club's transfer activity and ability to pay wages if Rashford remains with the club. If Rashford returns, he could make his debut against AC Milan in Wroclaw on August 15, depending on his participation in the Maynooth training camp in Ireland.
He would be managed by Michael Carrick, who previously coached Rashford and managed him for a brief period in 2021. The return of Rashford, who is the club's highest earner with a weekly salary of £325,000, may impact United's transfer strategy and wage bill.
