Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford could soon be reunited with former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after potential moves to AC Milan and Barcelona fell through. It initially appeared inevitable that the 27-year-old would be departing in the current transfer window, having not played a minute for United in any of their last nine matches.

Rio Ferdinand believes it would be “best for everybody” if Marcus Rashford leaves Manchester United – and would not be surprised if Alejandro Garnacho also leaves in the January transfer window. England international Rashford has not played for his hometown club since December 12 and appears to be out in the cold under Ruben Amorim.
