Man United’s exit-linked forward Marcus Rashford has responded to David De Gea’s latest message on social media.
Ruben Amorim has a transfer nightmare on his hands with the 27-year-old, who spent the second half of last season on loan with Aston Villa, with Barcelona also interested this summer.
With the La Liga giants stuttering with their move for the club’s academy product, it remains unclear how Rashford’s current situation can be resolved, and his recent messages with De Gea have caused a stir.
The Spaniard left Old Trafford in the summer of 2023 as a free agent, having made over 500 appearances for the Red Devils, and he clearly remains well-connected with the players back in England.
A Man United return for De Gea has already been ruled out, even with concerns over current goalkeeper Andre Onana, but some fans believe the duo could still partner up again.

Taking to Instagram stories (25 June), in response to De Gea’s “waiting for you” message relating to a game of padel, Rashford replied: “Come to Manchester,” with laughing and side-eye emojis.

Football Insider verdict
Rashford’s future is not the only issue causing trouble during Amorim’s first summer transfer window in England, with Rasmus Hojlund, Kobbie Mainoo, and Alejandro Garnacho possibly leaving soon.
Mick Brown, who remains well-connected at Old Trafford, told Football Insider that Tottenham are lining up a move for Garnacho after the Argentine has a massive row with the manager.

The likes of Luke Shaw and Mason Mount are seen as deadweight, albeit the latter impressed in recent weeks, could be sold ahead of the 2025/26 campaign to create further funds.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe‘s cost-cutting schemes at Old Trafford, while only visible through budget cuts and staff redundancies, are likely to be seen on the pitch if current spending continues.
It will be a huge challenge for Amorim to get the Red Devils back to their former status, having not won the Premier League since 2012/13, but fans will need to support him whatever happens.
