Rashford is currently representing England at the World Cup, but will return to Carrington for pre-season in about three weeks after the Three Lions complete the tournament in North America.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The 28-year-old is expected to rejoin the first team as soon as he returns to training and could feature in some of the six warm-up games United have arranged before the Premier League kicks off on August 22, as he will compete for selection during pre-season under manager Michael Carrick. Rashford was widely expected to leave Old Trafford this summer, even after Barcelona rejected their \u00a326m option to make him a permanent player.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Rashford was directly involved in 28 goals during his time at Camp Nou, but was caught off guard by Barcelona&#8217;s decision to sign Anthony Gordon instead for \u00a369m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>However, it is now widely believed that talks between the two sides could see Rashford remain at United after the transfer window closes, paving the way for a return to pre-season. We are now ready to explore ways to return to Academy products on all fronts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>That remains uncertain and that could change if an offer is delayed, but United are currently reluctant to approve a third loan spell following Rashford&#8217;s spells at Aston Villa and Barcelona. Rashford was keen to extend his stay in Catalonia, but United are reluctant to renegotiate negotiations with the La Liga club.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Rashford is expected to attract interest from the Premier League this summer, but he is said to want to fulfill the remaining two years of his contract rather than accept a permanent move to another English club at this time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>This opened the door for him to remain at United, but it would also impact on Michael Carrick&#8217;s transfer plans, as it would reduce the need for another attacker, especially given Rashford&#8217;s ability to wear multiple roles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Rashford was already set to join the first team this summer after being banished to the &#8216;bomb squad&#8217; by Ruben Amorim 12 months ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Express sports on FB!
