Manchester United stars Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha have reacted to a three-word social media post from Marcus Rashford. The 27-year-old is among the five players to express their interest to leave Ruben Amorim's side and as a result, their return for pre-season has been delayed.
Rashford spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa after having struggled for gametime at Old Trafford, firstly for form under Erik ten Hag before he failing to play his way in to the Portuguese head coach's plans. The United academy graduate has shared behind-the-scenes snippets of his preparations for the new campaign.
The latest instalment came on Wednesday, hours after reports that Rashford reported back for training at Carrington on Monday and Tuesday despite the club handing him an extended break to explore a move away from Old Trafford.
Taking to Instagram, Rashford posted a series of clips and pictures from The Performance Space in Manchester and captioned his post: "No days off."
There was plenty of support from the 27-year-old's teammates, including Fernandes and new signing Cunha who both liked the series of pictures on Instagram.

The Brazilian new arrival was named as the club's new number 10 at the Theatre of Dreams, taking Rashford's shirt number after the England international signalled his desire to leave.
Cunha made the £62.5million move from Wolves at the beginning of the summer, penning a five-year deal in M16 after his release clause was triggered.
The MEN reported in May that United have identified Rashford as one of three priority sales they wish to oversee this summer in order to bring funds in for new signings.
He is currently valued at £40million and it is expected that he will move abroad with interest sparked from European giants Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
Rashford's wages have been deemed a possible stumbling block in the negotiations to offload him on a permanent deal but the prospect of a loan exit has not been dismissed, although the MEN understands the attacker wants to join a team that has qualified for the Champions League.
