Marcus Rashford (29) will make a surprise return to Manchester United's first team after approximately 18 months.

Britain's "Mirror" reported on the 9th (Korean time) that "Manchester United manager Michael Carrick announced that Rashford will reunite with his United teammates at a training camp in Ireland."

It further added, "Rashford took an extended break after contributing to England's third-place finish at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America and is now preparing to train with the Manchester United squad for the first time in 18 months."

Ahead of his return to Manchester United, Rashford faced controversy over his private life during his vacation. According to Britain's "The Sun," after achieving third place at the North American World Cup, Rashford chartered a luxury yacht and enjoyed a party with 10 female acquaintances on the French Riviera.

His girlfriend Lucia Loia was not present at the scene. Rashford consumed champagne and beer worth about 500,000 won. Additionally, earning a weekly salary of approximately 600 million won, he displayed his wealth by wearing luxury watches and necklaces valued at around 43 million won.

A Manchester United youth product who debuted with the first team in 2016, Rashford has recorded 426 career matches, 138 goals, and 79 assists. However, he experienced serious conflict following the appointment of former manager Ruben Amorim. Manager Amorim placed Rashford on the transfer list, excluded him from first-team training, and even mocked him by saying, "He will instead play as a 63-year-old goalkeeper coach."

As a result, Rashford left the team for the first time in February 2025 when he was loaned to Aston Villa. Last season, he was loaned to Barcelona's FC Barcelona, where he recorded 49 matches, 14 goals, and 14 assists. Barcelona did not activate its full transfer clause worth approximately 30 million euros (about 49 billion won).

His uncertain path took a turn with the appointment of new manager Carrick. Shortly after a friendly match against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Manager Carrick formalized his return by stating, "All players, including Rashford, will be together in Dublin, Ireland." Carrick has a history with Rashford, having played alongside him as a player and coached him as a coach. While reports suggest he could transfer to clubs like Arsenal or Tottenham for up to 152.4 billion won, he is expected to focus on Manchester United training for the time being.

Manchester United will play a pre-season friendly against Leeds United in Dublin, Ireland, on the 13th (Korean time). This match is highly likely to be Rashford's return game. On the 15th, they will face AC Milan, the current team of manager Amorim, with whom Rashford had severe friction in the past.
