Garnacho and Rashford want to leave
Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford trained together at Manchester United's training ground last week.
Garnacho and Rashford were on site at United's Carrington training complex on Thursday and sources say the pair did ball-work together on one of the training pitches.
The United first-team squad had left the premises by the time the pair arrived and the only other team present were the under 10s.
Rashford has reported for regular individual sessions at United's training base. He arrived via the rear entrance eight minutes after head coach Ruben Amorim left through the front on Friday.
The United squad began reporting for pre-season medicals last Monday and participated in full training sessions.
Garnacho donned an Aston Villa shirt with 'Rashford 9' printed on it whilst on holiday last month. Rashford expressed his gratitude with a comment on Garnacho's Instagram post that read, "My brother".
United agreed with Rashford, Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia that they would delay their returns for pre-season training as they all want to leave the club.
Medical and rehabilitation facilities have been made available to the five players and the club are offering remote support.
Rashford has expressed a desire to join Barcelona, who fleetingly considered recruiting him on loan in the winter transfer window. Barcelona have been long-time admirers of Rashford.
Garnacho has been linked with a move to Napoli and Chelsea, who were both interested in the Argentine in January. Garnacho's representatives have declined an offer from renowned agent Pini Zahavi to facilitate a transfer away from United.
