Manchester United’s former biggest star fell out with Ruben Amorim, hurled some negative comments about the club that has been so important throughout his life – and everyone thought the bridges were burned. Then the bombshell went off after New Year: Ruben Amorim fired! And suddenly the door opens for a spectacular return to Old Trafford.
Because according to Spanish Sport, it is now not only possible, but “very likely” that Marcus Rashford will return to Manchester United after his season-long loan spell at Barcelona is over, now that Amorim is gone.

With a clean slate in Manchester, Rashford – who has an option to buy in his deal at Camp Nou – is expected to be recalled to the Red Devils by whoever takes over the reins on a permanent basis in the summer of 2026, according to the Spanish media.
Former United player Owen Hargraves said it directly after Amorim had been sacked.

He told TNT Sports: “I hope Marcus comes back because he’s a special player. I don’t know what happened between Marcus and Ruben, but I don’t think there’s any doubt about his talent.”
“I don’t think Marcus should have been in a position where he carried all the weight for everything, in our team he would have been the third or fourth player, so he wouldn’t have had to carry all the responsibility because a lot of it would have been taken off his shoulders.”
Hargreaves added, “There was too much emphasis on these young boys to be the main man, and they should never have been in that position at just 20 years old. They needed a striker who was 26-28 years old, and then the youngsters could have learned the game like everyone did before at the club.”

“I think Marcus is a super talent and the club could use him. And with Kobbie (Mainoo), I think he’ll be right back in the team with a game that uses a back four.”
According to Spanish Sport, Marcus Rashford is “very likely” on his way back.
