Manchester United defender Harry Maguire says he hopes Marcus Rashford will stay at Old Trafford because he can improve the team. Rashford came on as a second-half substitute in his first game for United since December 2024 in the 4-2 pre-season defeat by AC Milan in Wroclaw. United officials have stressed the number is not regarded as permanent on a day when striker Benjamin Sesko - who had been expected to take the nine shirt this season - was not available through injury.
