Marcus Rashford responds to Bruno Fernandes’ message as he makes Man United return
Marcus Rashford was active on social media to react to Man United captain Bruno Fernandes’ most recent update at the club.
Rashford is currently pushing for a move away from United following the expiry of his loan deal with Aston Villa last month.
As reported by Football Insider, Ruben Amorim is keen for Rashford to depart as soon as possible, with interest from clubs including Barcelona.
Rashford has also made it clear he wants to leave Old Trafford, and it’s understood that the manager has granted him extended time off to focus on securing a new club.
Meanwhile, other United players have returned to Carrington this week for the start of pre-season training, including club captain Fernandes.
Bruno Fernandes shares Man United training update
Fernandes gave fans a glimpse into Manchester United’s pre-season preparations after posting on Instagram.
The Portugal international captioned his post simply with: “Day one” alongside several photos from the first training session back.
The post drew reactions from a number of teammates, including Rashford, who left a like, as well as Diogo Dalot and Antony.
Meanwhile, Rashford’s £40 million valuation, coupled with his reported £300,000-a-week wages, has made it difficult for clubs to submit serious offers.
Aston Villa opted against making Rashford’s loan move permanent, largely due to their financial uncertainty after failing to qualify for the Champions League.
Football Insider recently revealed that Rashford’s future may not be resolved until late in the window, with clubs favouring a loan move over a permanent deal.
If United were to secure a fee for the forward, it would count as pure profit in accounting terms given he is an academy graduate – though the club may also prioritise cutting his sizeable wages from the books.
Alejandro Garnacho could follow Marcus Rashford out of Man United
While Rashford appears to be edging closer to an exit, another player reportedly on the chopping block is Alejandro Garnacho.
Football Insider revealed that Man United are now ready to lower their asking price for Garnacho after struggling to generate interest.
Amorim is understood to be pushing for Garnacho’s departure following a public dispute over game time. However, the highly visible nature of the saga has made it more difficult for the club to find a buyer.
