Marcus Rashford thanked Barcelona for “special memories” as he prepares to return to Manchester United with his future still uncertain. There is a growing feeling that Rashford is likely to stay at Old Trafford, where his former team-mate Michael Carrick is now in charge. Rashford, who is due to link up with United after a post-World Cup break, praised Barcelona for his experience in Spain. “I’ve enjoyed every moment and will take many special memories with me.” Rashford, who has two years left on his lucrative contract at Old Trafford, last played for United in December 2024.
