Bruno Fernandes reacts to Marcus Rashford’s feel-good message after he makes return
Manchester United stars have continued to interact with the latest updates from Marcus Rashford after the forward joined Barcelona.
Rashford’s Man United exit came as part of Ruben Amorim’s rebuild, which also saw Alejandro Garnacho join Chelsea.
Since moving to Barcelona, the England international has made three La Liga appearances and has been selected for the Three Lions squad once again.
Meanwhile, Amorim decided to facilitate the exits of Garnacho, Rashford, and Antony after Man United signed attackers Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko.

The 27-year-old’s message attracted a like from Manchester United captain Fernandes.

However, amid injury struggles, the Man United academy graduate was not involved when England narrowly defeated Andorra and lost to Senegal in June.
But now that he has returned to the Three Lions fold, Rashford has the opportunity to show Thomas Tuchel that he is worthy of regular international selection ahead of next summer’s World Cup.
Tuchel’s men must perform significantly better this international break than they did in June, and the winger can have a significant part to play in that.
Rashford knows that he faces competition for an international spot with players like West Ham talisman Jarrod Bowen and Arsenal new boy Noni Madueke.
Meanwhile, Jack Grealish’s strong form with Everton could see him return to the England squad by October.
