Ruben Amorim acknowledges Marcus Rashford’s comeback and gives a clue about his own future at Manchester United.

Ruben Amorim has suggested that Marcus Rashford might still have a future at Manchester United, despite strong speculation that the forward is set for a permanent departure this summer following his loan move to Aston Villa in January. Although Amorim had dropped Rashford from the squad in December and is expected to carry out a major squad overhaul, he recently made it clear that no final decisions have been reached regarding the futures of returning loanees.

Speaking ahead of United’s game against Bournemouth, Amorim said the club will evaluate the situation after the season concludes. He noted that the purpose of loan moves is to allow players to shine, and those who perform well can still offer something valuable to the team. Rashford is among several players currently away on loan, including Jadon Sancho, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia, and Amorim acknowledged the quality these players bring, highlighting how their form elsewhere could influence United’s long-term strategy.

Rashford has been impressive at Villa, registering four goals and six assists in 17 appearances. His form has caught the eye of manager Unai Emery, who has even opted to start him ahead of Ollie Watkins in important matches. Villa are believed to have an option to buy him for £40 million, and United had initially appeared open to that, hoping to raise funds for summer signings.

However, despite having a contract that runs until 2028, Rashford is reportedly not keen on staying at either club. He has ruled out returning to Manchester United and is not interested in a move to any London side. His primary focus is securing a place at a Champions League club, preferably in Spain.

As the club aims to bolster the squad, United are actively looking to offload players like Rashford to free up resources. They are also reportedly planning to meet Matheus Cunha’s £62.5 million release clause at Wolves once the transfer window opens. Amorim, however, kept his cards close to his chest, stating that decisions could shift based on how the season ends and that he prefers not to discuss individual players at this stage.
