As the future of Marcus Rashford away from Manchester United remains uncertain, the England international seems to be taking a break and focusing on personal matters. Recently, Rashford has been spending time with his former teammate David de Gea, hinting at a possible reunion.
The month of June has been a period of uncertainty for Rashford, as talks surrounding a potential transfer, whether permanent or a loan, away from Man United for the 2025/26 season have been ongoing. Aston Villa, who temporarily hosted Rashford following a fallout with manager Ruben Amorim, have yet to exercise their £40m purchase option.
Recent reports suggest that Spanish giants Barcelona are interested in Rashford's services, as sporting director Deco has confirmed their interest in the winger, among other summer targets. If Rashford is considering a move to Spain and La Liga, De Gea, who has a rich history with both clubs, could provide valuable insights.
Before his illustrious career at Manchester United, De Gea honed his skills at Atletico Madrid. The former Old Trafford teammates now have the opportunity to discuss their shared experiences, as they have reunited off-season, as confirmed by De Gea's latest social media activity.
De Gea, now playing for Fiorentina in Italy, posted an Instagram story with the caption: "Waiting for you [laughing face emoji, eyes emoji]." He also tagged Rashford's account, with the image showing a padel racquet at his feet. It seems that the former United goalkeeper is eager to engage in a friendly match with Rashford during their vacation.
The message comes at a time when speculation about Rashford's future at Old Trafford is rampant. According to talkSPORT, Barcelona is exploring a loan agreement for the upcoming season. This could potentially provide an easy solution for United to offload Rashford, though only on a temporary basis, ensuring they do not secure a full fee for his exit just yet.
Barca are also said to be sending Ansu Fati on loan to AS Monaco, creating more financial space and a vacancy in their squad for another winger to join.
