Marcus Rashford returns to Manchester United after loan spells

Marcus Rashford is set to rejoin Manchester United's squad following the conclusion of his loan at Barcelona. He last played for United in December 2024 after loans to Aston Villa and Barcelona. With his return, manager Michael Carrick gains a versatile forward option as preseason preparations continue in Dublin. While Rashford's past struggles under previous coaches raised concerns, Carrick, who has a strong history with him, is expected to help him regain form. He may not participate in Wednesday's match against Leeds but could play in a friendly against AC Milan in Poland on Saturday.
