Marcus Rashford reported back for pre-season training at Manchester United<\/a> on Monday and Tuesday – despite being given extra time off to find a new club. Rashford, 27, was among five players who United told could return to Carrington at a later date<\/a> if they were unable to secure a transfer.<\/p>\n But the England<\/a> international still arrived at the Red Devils’ training centre. Rashford worked individually and wasn’t part of any sessions with rest of Ruben Amorim’s squad, the Athletic<\/a> report.<\/p>\n That group of players included new \u00a362.5million signing Matheus Cunha<\/a>, who the club announced in a social media post on Tuesday had taken the No.10 shirt from Rashford<\/a>. United said on Friday that Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho<\/a>, Jadon Sancho<\/a>, Antony<\/a> and Tyrell Malacia<\/a> would be allowed to return later in July amid their uncertain futures.<\/p>\n Carrington’s medical and rehabilitation services have remained available to the players during their extended summer breaks. It was reported last week that all five stars had asked to leave United, although some of the players’ representatives have denied this.<\/p>\n Garnacho has been linked with moves to Chelsea<\/a> and Napoli<\/a>, Antony is wanted by Real Betis<\/a> and it’s been claimed in Italy<\/a> that Sancho has agreed terms with Juventus<\/a>. Malacia, meanwhile, is said to be struggling to attract buyers<\/a>.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Newcastle chiefs discuss shock move for Arsenal and Man Utd transfer target<\/a>READ MORE: Man Utd hold fresh Bryan Mbeumo transfer talks as Ruben Amorim sets deadline<\/a><\/p>\n Barcelona<\/a> are the favourites to sign Rashford after missing out on top target Nico Williams, who’s signed a new 10-year contract with Athletic Bilbao<\/a>. Luis Diaz<\/a> is an option, although Liverpool<\/a> recently rebuffed an approach from Bayern Munich<\/a>.<\/p>\n It’s been reported in Spain that Rashford would be willing to take a sizeable pay cut on his \u00a3325,000-a-week salary in order to join Barca, who’d prefer a loan deal given that United are demanding \u00a340m. The Red Devils want to raise funds before making any further signings beyond Cunha and Brentford<\/a> forward Bryan Mbeumo, as talks between the clubs over a potential \u00a363m deal continue.<\/p>\n Should Marcus Rashford be given another chance at Manchester United? Have your say in the comments section<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n Amorim wants to refresh his attack which is why Rashford, Garnacho, Sancho and Antony are on the chopping block. Should they manage to offload their unwanted stars, United plan to dip into the striker market, having missed out on Liam Delap to Chelsea earlier in the window and Viktor Gyokeres<\/a> – who worked with Amorim at Sporting Lisbon<\/a> – set to sign for Arsenal<\/a>.<\/p>\n Join our new MAN UTD WhatsApp community<\/a> and receive your daily dose of Manchester United content from Mirror Football<\/strong>.
