£40m United star preparing for surprise comeback as Amorim considers late U-turn in summer squad – report

Marcus Rashford is expected to report back to Manchester United’s Carrington training complex next month if a transfer away from the club has not been finalised.

The forward’s future remains unresolved, with United yet to receive any firm offers for the 27 year old, who is under contract until 2028.

Rashford spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, where he scored four goals in 17 appearances.

United sources maintain they would prefer a permanent departure, valuing Rashford at around £40 million. However, a second loan remains an option should no suitable buyers emerge.

According to ESPN, head coach Ruben Amorim has not decided whether Rashford will be part of his squad for United’s summer tour of the United States, which includes matches in Chicago, New York and Atlanta.

Sources close to Amorim have indicated it is “too early” to make definitive selections for the tour.

Rashford’s own preference is to join a club competing in the Champions League as he looks to reignite his career and earn a recall to the England national team.

We recently covered the story linking Rashford to a move to Inter Milan, with the Italian giants preferring a loan move.

The Englishman hopes a return to form at the highest level will boost his chances of making Thomas Tuchel’s squad for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

His contractual situation gives the club a strong negotiating position, but time is ticking ahead of pre-season.

With a month to go before the tour begins, Amorim’s plans remain fluid. For Rashford, the wait continues, both for clarity on his club future and for a potential fresh start elsewhere.

Until a deal is agreed, the England international is set to return to familiar surroundings at Carrington.
