Marcus Rashford sends message to Ruben Amorim after being exiled from pre-season training and stripped of his No 10 shirt
Rashford, along with Jadon Sancho, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia, were all told to stay away from the training ground when the rest of the squad report for pre-season at Carrington on Monday.
The 27-year-old is seeking a move away from Old Trafford after falling out with Amorim midway through last season, and consequently lost his shirt number this summer following Matheus Cunha's £62.5million move from Wolves.
After being ostracised from the squad, Rashford seems to be eager to silence any doubt surrounding his commitment to football.
Mail Sport reported that the forward has no issue returning to the club and will 'give 100 per cent' in training, regardless of the heavy speculation over his future.
And Rashford appeared to double down on this with his recent social media post, as he shared a photo of himself lifting weights, making it his new profile picture on his X account.

Rashford then replied to two comments showing support towards him.
One user shared a GIF of Rashford holding up a one and a zero with each of his hands to make the number 10, to which the winger replied with a heart emoji.
Another user told Rashford: 'Keep your head down n focus... you got this bruv,' which was met with a '100' emoji response from the footballer.
Rashford also recently changed his bio on X, which now does not specify which club he plays for and simply reads: 'England International Footballer,' followed by his agent's email address.
Earlier this month, Aston Villa confirmed that they would not be triggering their £40m buy option for Rashford.
The forward impressed during his six-month loan spell at Villa Park in the second half of last season, scoring four goals and adding six assists in 17 appearances in all competitions.
Rashford's hefty contract demands could prove to be a stumbling block to any transfer, as his current deal sees him earn a whopping £315,000-per-week and runs until 2028.
Rashford has been linked to a whole host of clubs across Europe this summer, including Newcastle and Barcelona, with the Catalan giants said to be the forward's dream destination.

India set England world-record chase to leave Bazballers battling history and own egos
England 's belief in miracles will be tested to its limits after India left them in an apparently un-winnable position heading into the final day of the second Rothesay Test at Edgbaston. In the three years since Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum took the reins of the Test side it has become a guiding principle that their team do not do draws – a rain-ruined Ashes clash at Old Trafford the only one in 37 matches of the 'Bazball' era. Now they may be forced to accept that avoiding defeat is the only route out of Birmingham that keeps their series lead in tact. Chasing a colossal 608, almost 200 more than the world record, they found themselves 72 for three at the end of day four. With an inconceivable 536 to win in 90 overs, a challenge of their bravado awaits. India, riding on the coat-tails of yet another century from their insatiable captain Shubman Gill, raised eyebrows by delaying their declaration well beyond expectation and they must now hope the weather does not leave them short of time. By the time Gill finally pulled the plug at 427 for six, a packed crowd had stopped singing Oasis songs and started chanting 'boring, boring India'. England's fearless approach to fourth-innings batting had clearly spooked the tourists, who saw them easily chase down 378 on this ground in 2022 and 371 at Headingley last week, but their ultra-cautious approach slipped down the agenda as they wreaked havoc with the new ball. Zak Crawley flashed Mohammed Siraj to backward point to bag England's seventh duck of the match and Ben Duckett followed for a rapid 25. Five boundaries in 15 balls from the left-hander had the boisterous Hollies Stand taking to their feet as they hollered 'stand up if you still believe', but they were back in their seats when Akash Deep smashed his stumps with a beauty. Deep was at it again when he added the coveted scalp of Joe Root for six, blasting out his off stump with speed, seam and skill. If India do take the remaining seven wickets they require, it will be a crowning achievement for Gill, who followed his first-innings 269 with a flawless 161. That took his match total to 430, the second highest aggregate in Test history, and his series output to a staggering 585 in four visits. After stepping in to the number four spot previously occupied by national icons Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, Gill already looks at home. India held all the cards at the start of play, already 244 in front with nine wickets in hand. By lunch England had taken two more, Karun Nair caught behind to cap a vibrant opening burst from Brydon Carse and KL Rahul seeing his middle stump uprooted by a ripper from Josh Tongue. But by the interval Gill's latest bout of gorging had begun and India were in front by 357. A chaotic cameo of 65 from Rishabh Pant ensued, with eight fours, three sixes and two missed catches. On two separate occasions he swung so hard he hurled the bat high into the air, including the shot that eventually saw him caught by Duckett. Crawley had earlier dropped an easy chance with Pant on 10, caping an increasingly weary performance from the hosts. Gill breezed to his hundred in 127 balls and cut loose after tea, blazing five sixes and four fours. By now England had become passengers, a disorientated Ollie Pope running past a catch in the deep as he lost sight of the ball, and the crowd were baying for the innings to end. At one stage they thought the declaration had come and cheered loudly in response, only to jeer when play resumed. Shoaib Bashir eventually dismissed Gill with a caught and bowled, but figures of two for 119 were scant cause for celebration. When Gill finally called his side in there were just 16 overs possible, but that was enough to plunge England into deep strife. Crawley did not trouble the scorers before an over-ambitious slash outside off gave Siraj the breakthrough and Duckett's brief charge was ended when Deep bowled him from round the wicket. Where India had batted with impunity, every ball appeared to carry danger for England and Deep hit the jackpot when he skewered Root with a rocket that nipped away crashed into off stump. Harry Brook and Pope are first to the crease on Sunday and must decide overnight whether they can stomach fighting for a stalemate.

Parents spark fury as they take their baby to a tattoo salon – but it's the kid's name that's got everyone talking
A COUPLE have come under fire after taking their baby to a tattoo salon - however, it's the little boy's name that's got everyone talking. Mum and TikToker Morgan Presley, who welcomed the baby in May, explained that she simply didn't ''trust people'' enough to get a babysitter. 2 As the two parents were desperate to have their facial piercings changed, they decided to take their baby son to the tattoo salon with them. In the now-viral video, Morgan explained that her son had reached the ''grabby'' stage and was constantly pulling her eyebrow piercings. ''My luck, he would rip them out,'' she said. Knowing she would face backlash, the mum-of-one also said: ''To the people who will say, 'Just get a babysitter ' - I don't trust people.'' While the couple were getting their piercings changed to more fitting ones, their son was chilling and peacefully sleeping in the background. However, while the pair were chuffed with their new facial piercings, Morgan and her partner came under fire for taking the little one along to the tattoo salon. One person wondered: ''not hating at all, but in the uk tattoo and piercing shops are 18+, surprised they let your baby in there, is that normal in all parts of usa?'' Another was baffled, writing: ''You don't trust people but you post him online?'' A third critic chimed in: ''Once again people proving they shouldn't be parents.'' But it's not just the day-out at the tattoo salon that sparked a fierce debate - Morgan and her husband were also slammed for naming their baby ''Pony''. Parents warned 3 common summer foods are dangerous to toddlers - and eating a specific fruit can cause nasty sunburn The parents revealed the son's name earlier this year in a video that's since gone viral, admitting that finding a boy that ''excited'' them was ''so hard''. ''Instead of going to baby name lists, we went to our record collection trying to look for a record that kind of spoke to us the most, that had sentimental meaning. ''And that's how we ended up landing on Pony Ramone Presley.'' In the clip, Morgan added that Presley was not his last name - and was intended for ''safety'' reasons. ''On our first date, we danced to this record by Orville Peck which is called Pony.'' Meanwhile, the middle name was inspired by The Ramones - a band the two were ''heavily, heavily listening to'' during the pregnancy journey. 'We are naming future adults not just babies' The boy's name, as adorable as it may be, has not proven to be a major hit amongst concerned social media users, who slammed the parents. One said: ''Giving him a fake last name from his safety doesn't feel very useful lmao. How many Pony Ramones are there?'' Another wrote: ''I've said it once I've said it again we are naming future adults not just babies.''
