Marcus Rashford has made a surprising appearance at Manchester United's Carrington training ground, despite being given permission to stay away to seek a new club. The 27-year-old England forward, along with four other first-team players, was reportedly granted extra time off by manager Ruben Amorim to resolve their futures elsewhere.
While teammates Jadon Sancho, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, and Tyrell Malacia were notably absent, Rashford chose to train alone. Sources indicate he requested access to the club's facilities to maintain his fitness levels, an opportunity United had extended to all five players.
Rashford arrived at Carrington on Monday and Tuesday afternoons, training separately from Amorim’s squad. United insiders confirmed he was granted full access to the performance support department, highlighting his commitment to staying in shape despite the uncertainty surrounding his future.
This development comes amid speculation about Rashford’s next move, with clubs like Barcelona and Bayern Munich reportedly monitoring his situation. A transfer to Barcelona could become more feasible following Nico Williams’ decision to renew his contract with Athletic Bilbao, reducing the Catalan giants' options.
Meanwhile, Manchester United’s pre-season preparations are in full swing, with new signing Matheus Cunha joining the squad. However, Rashford and the other four players are not expected to be included in the upcoming pre-season tour of the United States.
Although Rashford has yet to submit a formal transfer request, sources close to the player suggest he acknowledges it may be time to move on after spending two decades at the club. His dedication to training during this transitional period underscores his professionalism as he navigates the next chapter of his career.
