The summer window is fast approaching, and Manchester United are preparing for an aggressive rebuild under Ruben Amorim’s leadership.
The Red Devils ended a turbulent campaign with a surprise win that hinted at promise, but big changes are expected before next season begins.
Among the names tipped to leave is Marcus Rashford, who has been the subject of transfer speculation for months following a loan spell away from Old Trafford.

United’s victory on the final day of the season had a direct impact on both Champions League qualification and Rashford’s potential future.
Despite injury cutting his loan short, the England international had become a key figure during his six months away, impressing one of the Premier League’s most tactically astute coaches.
Manchester United’s 2–0 win over Aston Villa on the final day of the season not only ended the Midlands club’s Champions League hopes but also raised serious questions about Rashford’s next move.
Villa had hoped to secure top-four football, which would have strengthened their chances of triggering the £40 million buy clause in Rashford’s loan deal.
Ironically, it was Rashford’s parent club that dealt the final blow, leaving his loan stint in limbo and casting doubt over whether Villa will make the move permanent.

The 26-year-old took to social media after the match to send what many fans interpreted as a farewell message.
“Just a message of thanks to everyone here at Villa for what has (injury aside) been an incredible few months for me,” he wrote.
“It is a really special club… I appreciated the way Villa fans embraced me with open arms from 1st minute on the pitch.”
His words were laced with gratitude but also an air of finality, suggesting he may not return to Villa Park despite the progress made there.
Unai Emery had become an admirer of Rashford’s work ethic, and it’s no secret the winger managed to quieten many doubters with his performances.
Now, Marcus Rashford faces an uncertain future.
Returning to Carrington seems unlikely, and freezing him out again isn’t a long-term solution.
Barcelona are reportedly monitoring his situation, but any deal will be complicated by his high wages and United’s preference for a permanent sale.
In the end, the club that helped Rashford rediscover his form was denied its biggest goal by the very team that still holds his contract.
