Marcus Rashford features as the face of January in Manchester United's official 2025 calendar, despite being linked with a departure from the club.
After a dismal campaign under Erik ten Hag last season, the arrival of Ruben Amorim appeared to offer the 27-year-old the chance of a new lease of life at Old Trafford.
In Amorim's first Premier League game at the club Rashford netted an early goal in a draw with Ipswich before following that up with a brace in a dominant 4-0 win over Everton last month.
Since then however, Rashford has found his game time increasingly limited and was dropped to the bench for defeats against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.
Both Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho were left out of the squad for United's derby clash with Manchester City.
The Argentine has since worked his way back into Amorim's plans, but there has been no such return for Rashford as he was left out against Spurs in the EFL Cup and Bournemouth in the league on Saturday.

The 27-year-old is the face of January amid speculation that he will soon leave his boyhood club
Ruben Amorim recently questioned the guidance that the England international receives from his advisors
The omission led to speculation that the forward could continue his career away from his boyhood club, and Rashford added fuel to the fire by revealing last week that he is 'ready for a new challenge' in a bombshell interview.
However, despite the links Rashford still features on the recently released calendar, alongside the likes of Kobbie Mainoo, Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes.
A source told The Sun: 'He may not be here after the transfer window opens in just over a week's time. At least he's the face of January — it's likely he won't be around much longer.'
Speaking earlier this week Amorim questioned the 'choices' of people in the England international's entourage.
‘It is a hard situation,’ said Amorim.
‘I understand that these players have a lot of people around them, and they sometimes make choices that are not the first idea from the player. I understand, I can separate things.
‘I am always here to help Marcus, as any other player. They have to do what they have to do. They chose to do the interview because it’s not just Marcus. I understand that.’
