"The dismissal of Ruben Amorim as Manchester United manager has inevitably sparked speculation regarding the future of the club's exiled stars, specifically Marcus Rashford. The attacker left Old Trafford under a cloud 12 months ago following a well-documented fallout with the Portuguese coach. Initially loaned to Aston Villa in January 2025 before joining Barcelona last summer, Marcus Rashford was widely seen as a casualty of Amorim's strict tactical regime. However, despite Amorim's departure, it appears the door to a Manchester return remains firmly shut."
"Manchester United have made a definitive decision to cut ties with the 28-year-old permanently. Despite the change in the dugout, senior officials at Old Trafford have ruled that Rashford's time at the club is over, prioritising a complete overhaul of the dressing room culture. The hierarchy is reportedly happy for Barcelona to trigger the buy option inserted into his loan deal, which would see the Catalan giants secure the forward for a cut-price fee of around 30 million."
"While his form has been rediscovered in La Liga, United's board seems convinced that reintegrating him would risk destabilising the squad's developing cohesion, regardless of who succeeds Amorim. Should Man United give Rashford a chance under new manager? This decision, however, carries significant risk. While Rashford's attitude was cited as a friction point during Amorim's tenure, permanently offloading a player of his caliber for just 30 million could prove to be a huge mistake."
Ruben Amorim was dismissed as Manchester United manager, bringing renewed focus to Marcus Rashford's status. Rashford left Old Trafford after a fallout with Amorim, spent time on loan at Aston Villa, then joined Barcelona last summer. Manchester United have decided to cut ties with the 28-year-old and are reportedly willing for Barcelona to exercise a buy option of about 30 million. Rashford has registered seven goals and eight assists in 25 appearances this season. United's board believes reintegrating Rashford could disrupt squad cohesion despite his past goal-scoring pedigree and academy ties.
