Rashford saga continues; Tonali now at Spurs

Entities: Manchester United · Marcus Rashford · AS Roma · FC Barcelona · Manu Koné

Overview

Manchester United confirmed Marcus Rashford will re‑join the club’s pre‑season training in July 2026 after loan spells at Aston Villa and Barcelona. He arrives without an allocated squad number—the No. 10 shirt has been handed to new signing Matheus Cunha, and the No. 11 jersey is being mooted. Pundits suggest a departure before the summer window could still materialise, with Tottenham among the clubs still linked to him.

United have extended an invitation to Rashford to appear in an upcoming Amazon documentary about life at Old Trafford. Observers view the outreach as an olive‑branch, indicating the club has not ruled out retaining the England forward despite months of transfer speculation.

A permanent move to Barcelona fell through after the Spanish side signed Anthony Gordon, leaving Rashford without a clear destination and reinforcing United’s need to decide his future ahead of the Champions League campaign.

In parallel, captain Bruno Fernandes is in advanced talks on a new contract, having turned down lucrative Saudi offers. United are reportedly willing to sell him for around £64 million, with interest from Galatasaray and other European clubs, a factor that will shape United’s squad planning for the coming season.
