Manchester United are actively working on transfers both in and out as the World Cup unfolds. Several United stars are currently in the United States, Canada and Mexico representing their nations.
Michael Carrick will soon welcome back those players not involved in the World Cup and is busy compiling his summer priorities for the Old Trafford hierarchy. One United player found the net for England on Wednesday as the returning Marcus Rashford secured a 4-2 victory against Croatia, finishing off a well-worked team goal.
Uncertainty continues to surround the academy product's future, with Barcelona said to remain interested in a loan arrangement and other clubs circling. Meanwhile, one of Croatia's goal scorers has emerged on United's radar ahead of the Premier League's resumption.
Here, the examines some of the latest stories surrounding Old Trafford.
Rashford U-turn plea
Rio Ferdinand has called on United to rethink offloading Rashford following his impressive performances for Barcelona and England this year. The winger helped secure the La Liga title and the Spanish Super Cup with Barca and scored coming off the bench in his country's opening World Cup fixture.
Reports suggest the club have set a £40million price tag on the 28-year-old, with several Premier League sides expressing interest. Ferdinand, however, insists it is time for both the club and player to move past their differences and focus on the future, despite previously saying there was no way back for him at his boyhood club.

Speaking about the winger on his YouTube channel, Rio Ferdinand Presents, the former United defender said: "Do you know what, Manchester United might have to start re-evaluating Marcus Rashford's situation. I'm happy to change, I'm happy to change.
"I'm not wrong and strong, that's not my game. I'm happy to change. It seems like Marcus Rashford has matured, the time away from the club may have done him the good he needed and maybe it's cleansed both parties.
"Is it time? Is it time to shake hands and for him to say, 'I'm back.'"

Martin Baturina has allegedly attracted attention following his impressive goal against England on Wednesday evening. The 23-year-old netted the first of two Croatia equalisers before Jude Bellingham and Rashford secured victory for the Three Lions.
Sky Italia claims United are among a number of English clubs interested in Baturina, a pursuit that also includes Leeds and Aston Villa. Bayern have also made enquiries about the attacking midfielder.
Como have no plans to part with Baturina on the cheap, having already rejected a £43m bid for the Croatia international. Baturina joined the Serie A outfit last summer from Dinamo Zagreb and is only 12 months into his five-year contract.
