Marcus Rashford
Manchester United are planning for Marcus Rashford to return for pre-season training, with new head coach Michael Carrick keen to assess the England international before deciding on his role for the 2026/27 campaign.
Rather than rushing into a decision over the forward’s future, Carrick wants to work closely with Rashford during pre-season, giving the academy graduate an opportunity to prove he can still be a key figure under the club’s new era.
While Rashford’s future remains uncertain, Manchester United are not actively seeking to offload him.
A transfer will only be considered if a suitable offer arrives from one of Europe’s top clubs, keeping the door open for a late move should interest intensify.
Reports linking the 28-year-old with a switch to Turkey have been dismissed, with no such move currently under consideration by either the player or the club.
The club’s stance means Rashford is expected to report for pre-season as planned, where his performances and attitude could shape Carrick’s thinking ahead of the new season.
Unless an elite European side submits a compelling bid, the forward will have the chance to fight for his place and begin a fresh chapter under Manchester United’s new manager.
