Marcus Rashford rejoined the Manchester United squad for pre-season training in County Kildare, Ireland, on August 8, 2026. The 28-year-old English forward returns to the club after more than 18 months away, having been loaned to Aston Villa in January 2025 and then to Barcelona for the 2025-2026 season, where he scored 14 goals in 49 appearances. Barcelona chose not to trigger the reported purchase option worth around 30 million euros, sending Rashford back to Manchester United, where he remains under contract until 2028. The pre-season schedule includes a match against Leeds United on August 12, followed by a fixture against AC Milan on August 15.
