For the first time since his transfer scandal, Marcus Rashford was seen practicing with Manchester United, and he appeared to be in a good mood.
Rashford’s admission last month that he wants “a new challenge” has apparently sparked interest from half of Europe, leading to a January departure.
.
Nevertheless, Ruben Amorim used the 27-year-old in his penultimate session before Rangers’ Europa League trip to Old Trafford on Thursday.
According to reports, Rashford has been attending more training sessions during his nine-match break.
He has never been photographed during that period before.
Rashford has missed nine games for United, and the team has lost five of them.
Additionally, Rashford is willing to stay and defend his position, according to an exclusive SunSport report.
According to people close to the fired striker, he is prepared, eager, and able to play against Rangers if chosen.
However, Dwaine Maynard, Rashford’s agent and brother, reportedly continued to meet with Barcelona executives in Lisbon on Wednesday.
Since playing against Viktoria Plzen in early December, the England international has not appeared for the team.
Although he was called up to the team for the December 30 match against Newcastle, he did not play.
Due to his training performances, Amorim benched the 27-year-old for United’s 2-1 victory over rivals Man City in December.
Rashford, however, is willing to give the garment his all and has no problems with Amorim.
Amorim strengthened his position against the homegrown star after benching him once more during Sunday’s 3-1 loss to Brighton.
“It is his choice (not to play),” the manager emphasized, referring to his team as “the worst in Manchester United’s history.”
Rashford wasn’t present in the games we lost, so I don’t want to dwell on this negative moment.
“I don’t want to blame Rashford for this. Rashford isn’t playing, so he’s out.
“No matter what, I am not going to put out a player I don’t believe is the best for the team.”

The winger from Old Trafford has also been connected to transfers.
However, the Serie A team’s long-standing interest in Rashford is expected to end with Kyle Walker’s impending transfer to Milan.
On Wednesday morning, Antony, who has been connected to a loan move to Real Betis, trained as usual.
Alejandro Garnacho, a target for Chelsea and Napoli, and Kobbie Mainoo, a player connected to Bayern, were also seen working out.
For the first time since he stormed down the tunnel against Spurs during the Carabao Cup loss in December, Victor Lindelof made a comeback.
However, Jonny Evans, Mason Mount, and Luke Shaw were not present.
