While there he impressed, scoring four goals and adding six assists, but he missed the final four games of the season through a hamstring injury.
That knock also kept Rashford from being named in Thomas Tuchel 's latest England squad for clashes against Andorra and Senegal.
Earlier this month the star had been seen chatting to Swedish semi-pro padel star Jaki Palm and a female pal in St Tropez while on holiday.
And since then Rashford has shared pictures of himself getting back to training on his Instagram page.
Rashford shared a picture of him training on some decking with a dreamy ocean view as he lifted a leg up for balance.
Another snap depicted him in the middle of a run, while a third showed him taking some advice from his trainer.
He captioned the post: "Everyday hussle," alongside a battery emoji, while the location of it was tagged as Cannes, France.
Rashford is said to have met Jaki when he visited Dubai in April to address his hamstring issue.

A source said: 'Marcus went to have rehab for a hamstring injury in Dubai and was introduced to Jaki.
'She then joined him with his mates and another woman in St Tropez for a holiday. It's all very casual but Jaki has told her friends she's grown close to him."
Rashford's future is up in the air at the moment.
It is unclear whether Aston Villa intend to trigger the £40million purchase clause inserted into their loan transfer deal with the Red Devils.
However, European heavyweights Inter Milan and Barcelona are both said to be interested in a deal to land the ace.
Sources close to Rashford told exclusively told SunSport he doesn't see a future at Old Trafford under Ruben Amorim.
Amorim froze Rashford out of the Man Utd squad in December after he allegedly went on a night out before the Manchester derby.
Rashford has denied that allegation.
However, Amorim appears to be sticking to his guns and is prepared to sell the Carrington graduate to fund his rebuild of the squad.

Jannik Sinner ends Novak Djokovic's bid for 25th grand slam at French Open
Novak Djokovic came up short in his latest bid for a record 25th grand slam title as Jannik Sinner reached his first French Open final. Djokovic, who turned 38 last month, was bidding to become the oldest winner of a major title. Advertisement But in Sinner – 15 years his junior – the Serbian was essentially playing a younger, fitter version of himself. Jannik Sinner won his 20th consecutive grand slam match. Photo: Jon Buckle/PA. It was a high-calibre contest befitting a semi-final between the current world's best player and arguably the greatest of all time. But it was Sinner who won the big moments and came out on top with a 6-4 7-5 7-6 (3) victory. Sinner, who holds the US and Australian Open titles, is now on a 20-match winning streak at grand slams. Advertisement He will play defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, the second seed, in a blockbuster showdown on Sunday. They may have won the last five grand slams between them, but it will be the first time they have met at one in a final. OH. MY. NOVAK. DJOKOVIC. #RolandGarros — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 6, 2025 Just to make Djokovic feel even older, it will be the first major final to be contested between two players born this century. With Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff the last two women standing, Roland Garros will be the first grand slam to feature the top-two seeds from both the ATP and WTA draws in the finals since the 2013 US Open. Advertisement Djokovic has won three titles on the Paris clay but the surface was not his friend when Sinner broke in the first set after the ball kicked up violently off the dust and left him swinging at thin air. Early in the second set Djokovic won a spectacular 26-shot rally, the pair exchanging drop shots before the Serb stretched to volley into an open court before milking the applause from the crowd. Djokovic forced a first break point as Sinner served for the set and when the Italian netted a forehand, he was finally breached. Novak Djokovic's wait for the milestone 25th title goes on. Photo: Jon Buckle/PA. But the 23-year-old hit straight back and, after Djokovic received medical treatment on his left thigh at the changeover, he wrapped up the second set. Advertisement Djokovic kept fighting and had three set points to take it into a fourth in a 10th game, but Sinner wriggled out of that hole and secured victory in the tie-break after three hours and 16 minutes. Once again Djokovic proved he still belongs in the latter stages of the grand slams, but the wait for the milestone 25th title goes on.

Sinisalo sets out Celtic plan as keeper makes Kasper Schmeichel claim
The former Aston Villa shotstopper took over from the veteran Danish keeper when he was out injured and impressed during his seven-game stint, which included a derby clash at Ibrox. He's also back up with Finland to Lukas Hradecky and is currently on international duty, but he's made it clear his ambition is to become Schmeichel's successor. Read more: Sinisalo said: "Kasper has one year left on his contract. I have four. We are proceeding according to plan. I am 15 years younger than him. "Hopefully next season I'll get more minutes. I'll just try to play as well as I can when the opportunity arises. We'll see what happens. "Kasper is an excellent guy. He supported our team well and gave us tips when he was out with an injury. We are a good team together. "Every footballer wants to play. However, I knew that in front of me was an experienced top goalkeeper who is, so to speak, coming to the end of his career. "And that I am the young goalkeeper who is more of a project behind him. "There must be some patience from me. "But the plan is to be the first-choice goalkeeper at Celtic one day and hopefully that will open doors for me here on the national team as well. "Sinisalo impressed during his spell as the veteran Dane's replacement, which included an Old Firm game at Ibrox. He said: "Even though the end of the season was disappointing because we didn't win all three trophies, I enjoyed it. "I played seven of the last ten games. I'm quite happy with what I achieved towards the end of the season. "I got to experience what it's like to be a Celtic goalkeeper and I got to play in the match that won the league. "I lifted that trophy with a slightly better conscience because I had played a part in winning it myself. "And it was cool to experience the game at Ibrox. There were a few nerves before the game - 95 per cent of the crowd were home fans, every one of whom hates you. "I will definitely remember the experience forever."
