Manchester United’s pre-season planning has been overshadowed by lingering uncertainty over several key players, and Marcus Rashford remains at the centre of it all.
The 26-year-old winger, once viewed as the face of United’s future, endured a turbulent 2024/25 campaign that saw him fall out of favour and eventually loaned to Aston Villa in January.
Despite flashes of revival under Unai Emery—scoring four and assisting six in 17 appearances—Rashford’s future at Old Trafford looks increasingly bleak under Ruben Amorim.

With United looking to build around younger, more consistent attacking talent, the idea of a fresh start elsewhere has been gathering pace.
Now, a shock Premier League lifeline may be on the horizon.
According to SunSport, Newcastle United are ready to offer Marcus Rashford a chance to reboot his career in the North East—and crucially, the opportunity to play Champions League football.
The Magpies are reportedly eyeing a loan move for the England international, who has 62 caps to his name and remains under contract at Old Trafford until 2028.
Sources suggest Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is eager to bolster his squad’s attacking options as they return to Europe’s elite, and sees Rashford not as a replacement but as a rotation option alongside star striker Alexander Isak.

Newcastle remain confident they can convince Rashford to buy into their project, particularly with Callum Wilson’s future uncertain amid interest from Everton and Saudi clubs.
Barcelona, Rashford’s preferred destination, have so far shown no intent to formalise their interest, leaving Premier League suitors in a stronger position.
Despite his impressive early flashes under Amorim—scoring in the manager’s first two matches—Rashford hasn’t featured for Manchester United since December 12.
United, for their part, are believed to favour a permanent sale, with Rashford’s wages and long-term contract creating a significant financial weight on their books.
As Newcastle prepare for a high-stakes season and Rashford looks to reignite his career before the 2026 World Cup, a deal could suit both parties—if the numbers add up.
