The versatile forward was then ordered to train alone with other outcasts at Carrington after the first team had left the facility.
According to Mundo Deportivo, however, the England international has been given a way out of his Man Utd hell by joining Barca - a dream move he has been pushing for all summer.
The same source claims the Blaugrana and the Red Devils have agreed on a season-long loan for Rashford and an official announcement is expected for Wednesday.
And the deal includes a tiny buyout clause that the Catalan giants could trigger if they wish to hold on to the Man Utd academy graduate next year.

Rashford would only cost Barcelona a mere £26million if manager Hansi Flick gave the green light for the activation of his release clause.
That is significantly less than what he was previously valued at during his heyday at Old Trafford.
CIES rated Rashford between £130m and £170m four years ago, which made him the most valuable player in the world along with Erling Haaland at the time.
But the winger's value significantly dropped ever since 2023, just a few months after a stunning campaign that saw him notching a staggering total of 30 goals and 12 assists in 56 appearances.

Rashford has since been unable to replicate that form and seriously struggled under former United boss Erik ten Hag as well as his successor Amorim.
Man Utd would have to take a major pay cut to let their once-prized asset leave next year.

But Barcelona will reportedly cover all of Rashford's £325,000-a-week wages to bring him to LaLiga.
That agreement will save the Manchester giants around £15m in wages, which is key for Amorim as he looks to overhaul the squad on a budget.

Pep Guardiola compared by fans to Ted Lasso as Man City boss debuts surprise new look ahead of pre-season return
Man City boss Pep Guardiola has surprised fans by debuting a new look during his summer break. Guardiola and his Man City squad have been enjoying time off following their extended 2024-25 season, which ended with the FIFA Club World Cup. Man City bowed out of the competition on June 30 with a surprise 4-3 defeat to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal after extra-time. With Man City due back for a short pre-season ahead of the new campaign, Guardiola was seen on a trip to the Monarka Clinic in Barcelona, a centre aimed at providing regenerative treatments and high-performance recovery. Fans were surprised to see that Guardiola has ditched his typical facial hair, with the Spaniard's beard having been shaved off. The 54-year-old was instead seen with sporting just a moustache while on the visit to the clinic. Some Man City fans jokingly suggested the bold new look could be a promising sign for their fortunes ahead of the new season, following an underwhelming 2024-25 campaign. 'Premier League should be trembling now,' one fan said. 'You can't not win the Premier League with that tash,' another added. 'Yeah, we are here to take back our throne. With Pep rocking new moustache look,' added a third. Others compared Guardiola's new look to the one sported by Ted Lasso in the hit Apple TV series, a show the Man City boss has previously made a cameo appearance in. 'Pep Guardiola now has a moustache inspired by Ted Lasso as he aims to turn things around after Manchester City's disastrous last season,' one fan claimed. Guardiola's new look also led to fans remembering the Spaniard's admiration for a reporter's look back in 2021. Speaking at a press conference, Guardiola had told TNT Sports reporter Fred Caldeira 'I really like your moustache, Fred. You are so attractive and sexy.' The reporter had responded by revealing to Guardiola that he had previously had a beard that he had opted to shave off. Guardiola's visit to the Monarka Clinic in Barcelona came a month after it was announced he had invested in the practice. The Man City boss revealed he had previously been suffering from a chronic back problem, which was relieved after he was treated by Mireia Illueca, a neurosurgeon expert in pain and minimally invasive surgery. Having checked in on his investment, Guardiola will by returning to take charge of the start of Man City's pre-season training on Monday. Man City currently only have one pre-season match scheduled ahead of the new campaign, with Guardiola's side set to face Italian side Palermo on August 9. Their Premier League season will begin on August 16 against Wolves.

Transfer news live: Liverpool target Isak after Diaz deal, Arsenal want Eze, Man Utd latest
Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are among the clubs striking major deals as the summer transfer window nears its final month. Liverpool have signed Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt in a £79m deal having beaten off interest from Newcastle to secure his signature. The Reds have also agreed to sell Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich which could challenge the resolve of Newcastle who are holding firm in their valuation of Alexander Isak. Isak has requested to 'explore his options' away from the club with a move to Liverpool seemingly the likeliest destination as the Premier League champions aim to strengthen their forward line. Arsenal have completed the signing of Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres, closing out a deal worth £63m for the forward who was unveiled as a new Gunner during their pre-season match against Newcastle on Sunday. The Gunners have also confirmed the signing of Cristhian Mosquera in defence and have their sights on Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze. Elsewhere, Manchester United have completed the signing of Bryan Mbeumo who joins Matheus Cunha in Ruben Amorim's new-look attack though the manager is still hopeful of securing a No.9 before the start of the season. Marcus Rashford has completed a loan move to Barcelona while Jadon Sancho is drawing interest from Juventus as the club also focus on outgoings. Meanwhile, Chelsea have their sights on a Dutch duo of Xavi Simons and centre-back Jorrel Hato. Arsenal ramp up bid for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze Arsenal are aiming to swiftly move to secure Crystal Palace 's Eberechi Eze now that the deal for Sporting 's Viktor Gyokeres is complete. Mikel Arteta 's side are Eze's top choice, as has previously been reported by The Independent, and those close to the player are confident a deal will be done in the next few weeks. Arsenal are hoping to agree a fee that comes to £60m, rather than the reported £68m clause, although on terms that are also amenable to Palace. Although there has not yet been any formal contact between the two clubs, the suggestions are that both will be flexible, amid good relations between the two boardrooms. Mike Jones28 July 2025 07:23 Arsenal complete Viktor Gyokeres signing Arsenal have completed the signing of Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting, for a final fee of €63m (£55m) with a further €10m to potentially be paid in add-ons (totalling £64m). The 27-year-old has signed a five-year contract. The purchase marks the end of an 18-month hunt for a number-nine from Arsenal, who have been insistent on signing a goalscorer for the 'here and now'. Gyokeres' arrival also marks the end of a hard period of negotiations with Sporting, who were insistent on more achievable add-ons. At one point, the deal dragged on and stalled over a potential add-on of €5m. Viktor Gyokeres signs five-year deal with Arsenal worth up to £64m The deal brings an end to Arsenal's lengthy wait for a number nine – and prolonged courtship of the Swede Miguel Delaney28 July 2025 07:22 Man Utd told Ollie Watkins is 'not for sale' after initial approach Manchester United have been firmly rebuffed by Aston Villa after an informal inquiry over a possible move for Ollie Watkins. United made the inquiry on Thursday evening but were told that Watkins 'is not for sale'. Watkins is just one of a few strikers United have looked at along with others including Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko. With a valuation of around £60m, Watkins is one of the cheaper options United are exploring and has proven Premier League quality. If they do pursue a deal then it will be difficult to convince Villa to part ways with their man.

The Colombian winger, who is currently in Tokyo with Liverpool on their pre-season tour, will leave on Sunday or Monday to complete the formalities of his move. Liverpool had long insisted Diaz was not for sale but reluctantly agreed to his request to go. Liverpool accept €75m Luis Diaz bid from Bayern Munich Richard Jolly 28 July 2025 07:20
