Return to Manchester United s goal is closed, Rashford faces two options

After suspected seasonal reimbursement due to injury, Rashford will face an important choice for his future destination.

After suffering a hamstring injury, Rashford must make plans for the next step in his career. Since it is not popular at Manchester United, Rashford needs to make a decision in the next summer window. As long as Amorin is still in power, it will be difficult for him to return to Old Trafford.

There are two options in front of him - permanently transfer to other teams or continue on loan.

Although the Red Devils' medical team is in touch with Vera's peers, Rashford will not return to his old club to heal his wounds. Going back to Carrington may cause some unnecessary friction between him and Amorin, especially after he left and caused a lot of controversy.

Unless Manchester United reached an agreement with other teams in the summer window, the 27-year-old striker had no choice but to return to the team for pre-season training in early July. He may even go to the United States with the team to compete in 3 friendly matches.

Due to the poor relationship with Amorin, he will train with Manchester United's teammates again, or starting a two-week trip to the United States will have a counterproductive effect on both sides. Rashford hopes to transfer to a foreign team that can compete in the Champions League, and Barcelona is seen as a suitable option.

But it remains to be seen whether the Catalan club is willing to introduce him. If the answer is yes, are they willing to pay a transfer fee of £40 million and a weekly salary of £350,000? One of the obstacles to Rashford's transfer is his high salary.

Villa has assumed most of Rashford's salary this season, as well as bonuses linked to goals and appearances. Against this backdrop, Rashford is allegedly ready to accept a salary cut to ensure a transfer this summer and end his Manchester United career.

Even if these conditions are significantly reduced, few clubs can meet Manchester United's requirements and Rashford's salary requirements. So another loan may be his only option.

He was still a model in England five years ago and now has become a player with uncertain future. Rashford’s move to provide free food to poor children in schools is impressive. That was the peak of his career.

During that time, Rashford was a model player on and off the court, and was a dazzling star of Old Trafford. Now, with the door to return to the childhood club being closed, he seems to have reached a fork. This summer's transfer may determine his next career.

"Our roster lost a lot of players. Someone mentioned Rashford and Anthony, and we let them go without introducing replacements."

"It's a bit of a risk, but we're aiming for something more important. It seems that I'm affected at the moment, but in the long run, this decision will help the club. I believe we're on the right path," Amorin said of Rashford in January.
