Marcus Rashford among first team stars ‘putting in the work’ at Carrington

Manchester United gave the players a few days off last week after the Atletico Madrid defeat.

Marcus Rashford was pictured in Dubai, The Sun reported, as part of a break away to refresh and clear his head.

However, he found himself among those collectively criticised by former United star Gary Neville for a ‘tone deaf’ response to the Champions League exit.

Neville said the players and owners should be keeping their heads down, with co-owner Avram Glazer pictured at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Well, the time for a break is over, and Marcus Rashford is back at Carrington. He was part of a group of players training on Tuesday in the Manchester sunshine.

Back to it

Rashford wanted fans to know he is back working on his game and sent a short message on social media.

Also involved in the session was Jadon Sancho, who like Rashford, was not selected in the England squad.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Nemanja Matic, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata were all involved, in addition to several under-23 players.

Rashford has been badly out of form this season, scoring only five goals. This has led to him being dropped from the England squad – although Sancho’s omission is more puzzling.

This extra time to train, and the short break, could help Rashford refocus and work on his game. He can still end the season with a flourish and reaching double figures for the season is not out of the question.
