Marcus Rashford Shocks Fans with Unexpected Appearance at Man Utd Training Facility

Marcus Rashford has been seen making his way back to Manchester United's training facility, even though he's been placed on the transfer list for this summer window.

The 27-year-old striker's bond with his childhood club has deteriorated following Ruben Amorim's appointment as Man Utd's head coach in November, leading to a public disagreement that resulted in Rashford spending the latter portion of last season on loan at Aston Villa.

Villa chose not to make Rashford's move permanent for the £40 million ($54.3 million) fee, which means the England forward must secure a new destination within the coming two months. His preferred destination appears to be Barcelona.

On Thursday afternoon, Rashford was observed arriving at Man Utd's Carrington training complex, showing up eight minutes following Amorim's departure. This timing has naturally sparked rumors about whether the striker was there to discuss his expected departure.

Nevertheless, according to the Manchester Evening News, no conversations occurred about Rashford's prospects despite his use of Carrington's rear entrance. He was merely maintaining his usual training routine—working independently to stay match-fit while seeking a summer move.

Rashford was among five players who informed Man Utd of their wish to start fresh before the summer transfer period concludes, alongside fellow forwards Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Alejandro Garnacho, plus left-back Tyrell Malacia who have all requested departures.

Rashford remains optimistic about securing a transfer to Barcelona and has expressed his enthusiasm about potentially playing with Lamine Yamal. The forward was mentioned by La Blaugrana's sporting director Deco as among the players the club holds in highest regard.
