Mainoo and Rashford to Join Manchester United Preseason; Rashford's Future Uncertain
The Athletic reports that Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford will both participate in Manchester United's summer training camp in Dublin, including a friendly against Leeds United on August 12. Mainoo's three-week break follows his World Cup omission, while Rashford returns after a loan spell at Barcelona, where the club declined to activate his €30 million buyout clause. Barcelona's signing of Anthony Gordon and the expiration of Rashford's £40 million release clause for other clubs complicate his departure. Manchester United are scouting left-wing options, including Crysencio Summerville, increasing the likelihood of Rashford staying. His salary has been restored to full level with Champions League qualification, but he may rotate with Matheus Cunha, who has taken his No. 10 shirt. The article also notes Harry Maguire's disappointment at being left out of England's squad under Tuchel, and that several players featured in a preseason friendly against Wrexham.
