Following more than six weeks on the sidelines, Rashford signed for Aston Villa on loan.
The England ace scored four goals in 17 appearances for Unai Emery's side, also laying on six assists.
His performances for Villa saw him earn a call-up to Thomas Tuchel's first Three Lions squad in March.
In April, the BBC reported that Rashford was set for talks over his United future in "mid-June".

At the time they claimed that Rashford felt it was unlikely that he would return to the fold at his boyhood club.
Upon Rashford moving to Villa, Amorim said: "I couldn't get Marcus to see the way you're supposed to play football and to train the way I see it."

Manchester United star aids Bryan Mbeumo chase as keeper targets move

Bryan Mbeumo is Manchester United's No 1 target in the summer transfer window but they face competition from Tottenham, who are strengthened by the arrival of the forward's ex-Brentford boss Thomas Frank Manchester United will have a fight on their hands to snap up the best talent this summer after missing out on Champions League football, with their bid to sign Bryan Mbeumo proving more difficult than first anticipated. The Red Devils looked like favourites to sign the Brentford forward before having a £60million bid rejected and then Tottenham entered the race - buoyed by the arrival of Mbeumo's ex-manager Thomas Frank. Spurs have since submitted a £70m offer. ‌ United remain confident they will secure the player's signature, having already sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves for around £62m. But Amorim has bigger problems on his hands trying to shift unwanted stars like Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Antony. ‌ Amorim will be eager to bolster his squad as much as possible after a dismal Premier League season saw them finish 15th in the table and he needs much better quality to boost the depth of his talent. Mirror Football has rounded up some of the biggest Manchester United transfer stories and rumours after the summer transfer window officially opened for Premier League clubs. Agent Onana aids Mbeumo chase United are already the frontrunners to sign Mbeumo after he impressed with 20 goals in the top flight last season, by far his best campaign for Brentford. Mbeumo is said to be "leaning towards" a move to Old Trafford, but the saga remains unclear after United's rejected bid. And Frank's move to Tottenham has complicated matters, with the player said to be "intrigued" by the north London switch now that Frank has arrived - a manager he admires so much. ‌ But United are doing their best to persuade Mbeumo his future lies in Manchester and now goalkeeper Andre Onana is reportedly on the case trying to convince his international team-mate. Onana and Mbeumo play together for the Cameroonian national team and are thought to be close friends, with the shot-stopper hoping he can work his magic given the nature of their relationship. United are in need of new forward players after some dismal performances from Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee last season. The duo managed only seven goals in the Premier League between them. ‌ Martinez targeting United move Speaking of Onana - while he appears to be the No 1 goalkeeper at United, that could change quickly if a decent alternative option appears in the transfer window. And while Amorim is understood happy to have Onana as his first-choice going into the new season, he might have his head turned after ESPN Argentina reported Emiliano Martinez is angling for a move to Old Trafford. The report also adds that United have already began negotiations with the Argentine World Cup winner to replace Onana. ‌ Martinez has a contract until 2029 at Aston Villa but is expected to leave the club this summer after appearing to give a tearful farewell following the team's last home game of the season. He has made 212 appearances for Villa since joining from Arsenal in 2020, while also picking up a total of 53 caps for his country. ‌ Garnacho wants Premier League stay Alejandro Garnacho is one of United's transfer misfits they are trying to shift this summer after falling out with Amorim. The winger gave an outspoken interview after being dropped for United's Europa League final defeat to Tottenham and declared the team's season as "s***" - and his agent brother Roberto added fuel to the fire by claiming he had been "thrown under the boss" by his manager. The Argentine has been strongly linked with Napoli in this window in a move that would unite him with ex-Chelsea boss Antonio Conte. ‌ Bayer Leverkusen were also said to be interested in the player, but Erik ten Hag's side were put off United's £70m valuation. However, despite the interest from abroad, Garnacho is prioritising a Premier League stay, according to the Daily Mail. It says Garnacho would have interest from Chelsea, Aston Villa and Tottenham should he opt to continue playing in England's top flight.

Kleberson on Man Utd regrets, Cristiano Ronaldo and ‘big signing' Matheus Cunha

EXCLUSIVE: Former Manchester United and Brazil star Kleberson talks to Mirror Football about his time at Old Trafford, meeting Cristiano Ronaldo and the Red Devils' signing of Matheus Cunha Kleberson had the world at his feet back in 2003. Fresh from winning the World Cup just 12 months before, he became the first-ever Brazilian to sign for Manchester United. Supporters were understandably excited after a fresh-faced Kleberson was pictured alongside a teenage Cristiano Ronaldo on the Old Trafford touchline after putting pen to paper with the Red Devils. But the former midfielder struggled to hit the heights expected of him in the Premier League having made just 30 appearances for the club over two seasons before being allowed to join Turkish giants Besiktas. ‌ Kleberson, though, has no regrets from his time with United. Speaking exclusively to Mirror Football, he said: 'Everything goes fast in that time. I signed a professional contract in 1999, I win the league in Brazil in 2001 and then in 2002, I was in the World Cup winning squad with Brazil. And then 2003, I signed for the biggest club in the world in Manchester United. ‌ 'It all happened so fast. It's so fast. Unfortunately, I got a lot of injuries that push me back. I only say that because when I got an injury, I got back 100% to play, I need to compete against Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Cristiano Ronaldo who started to fly. 'It's not easy. I know I won the World Cup at the time and at a big name Manchester United but it took time to get to a better level. But injuries didn't help me at that time. 'But I was the first Brazilian in the Reds jersey, the first to score in Old Trafford and my sons are born there. I have great memories, I really enjoyed that time.' While Kleberson's injuries limited his contributions for United, the man who he was unveiled alongside - Cristiano Ronaldo - enjoyed plenty of success. The five-time Ballon d'Or scored 118 goals across his first spell before his record move to Real Madrid. Kleberson knew he was destined for stardom after meeting him for the first time. He said: "It's so funny because when I get into Old Trafford to sign my contract, I remember I was on a table with a lot of agents. And then a young guy was there. I asked 'who's that kid?' And it was Cristiano Ronaldo. 'I was told he played in a friendly game for Sporting vs United and he destroyed the game. Before Cristiano, they tried to bring Ronaldinho and I think 'wow, that kid is probably special'. ‌ 'As soon as I saw that kid on the field, his dribbling, his technical quality, it's amazing. But one thing is was how focused he was. He was really focused on the things he wanted to see, concentrated. "He wants to get better quickly. He had a special mentor in Sir Alex Ferguson and he put him in the right direction. Ferdinand, Roy Keane and Gary Neville helped him to improve. But the strong mind he had at that time really impressed me. To see him score goals in a final for Portugal, that kid never stops.' ‌ With it now being over two decades since Kleberson became the first Brazilian to sign for the club, United have once again turned to a Selecao star in the transfer market. Ruben Amorim's side quickly paid Matheus Cunha's £62.5m release clause to sign him from Wolves. Kleberson believes he could be just the answer the club are looking for to solve their goalscoring woes. He added: 'It's a big signing for Man United. I really enjoy watching Cunha play. ‌ 'He starts to play in my town in Coritiba. I really enjoyed watching his game against Paraguay. It was the first time I watched him this close. 'He does a little bit more close movement, a lot of runs without the ball, diagonal moves. It's a big signing. I think United are going to be scoring well with him.' Another Premier League player who has been on the move this summer has been Jorginho. The Arsenal midfielder was allowed to leave the Emirates Stadium to sign for Brazilian side Flamengo ahead of the Club World Cup. ‌ And Kleberson believes that the Italian could have a big impact for his former side in the USA this summer. He said: 'I think that's a big signing for Flamengo because of the experience he brings for the club, it's amazing. 'He's a leader. He wants to come to Brazil, wants to play in the Maracana and now he can help the club a lot. But for this tournament, it's a great signing and he's going to be helping Flamengo a lot in some of the games.' Kleberson was speaking ahead of the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
