Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho has subtly backed his teammate Marcus Rashford on social media amid rumours about their futures at the Old Trafford club.

The Manchester Evening News reported that both forwards could be offloaded during the summer window. Rashford, aged 27 and an England international with 62 caps, had a successful loan spell at Aston Villa last season.

At Villa Park, Rashford netted four times and provided six assists across 17 games, earning him a recall to the England squad. But his time at Old Trafford seems uncertain.

A permanent transfer away from M16 could be on the cards for the homegrown talent, and if not a sale, another loan move is possible as the buzz around both Rashford and Garnacho continues to intensify this summer.

Not only did Rashford come back from his stint with Villa in formidable form, it looks like he's also reached out to Garnacho - who's shared a striking post on Instagram.

In his latest post, Garnacho can be seen sporting a Villa shirt with 'Rashford 9' emblazoned on the reverse while holidaying in Ibiza, causing quite a stir online.

Rashford himself noticed the gesture and responded with a brotherly comment, simply stating: "My brother."

The response was accompanied by a love heart emoji.

Garnacho, who may also be leaving United this summer, initially posted a caption-less photo.

He shared several snaps from his holiday, with the one featuring Rashford gaining significant attention as he strolled between two sports cars.

Last season, Garnacho contributed to 21 goals in 58 matches.

He is also an academy graduate, having joined United from Atletico Madrid for the latter part of his ongoing development.
