Manchester United's Marcus Rashford is set to return to the club after a successful season-long loan at Barcelona, where he scored 14 goals and provided 14 assists.
What happened at Barcelona?
Rashford's loan spell at Barcelona was highly successful, with the club winning La Liga glory.
He played a key role in the team, but Barcelona have made it clear they will not be signing him on a permanent basis.
Why it matters for Marcus Rashford
Rashford's future at Manchester United is uncertain, with the club potentially facing a £30m payout if they release him.
This is due to a change in football regulations, which allows players to lodge a breach-of-contract complaint if they are isolated from the first-team squad.
Michael Carrick, the Manchester United manager, will not be able to replicate the approach used by former boss Ruben Amorim, who forced Rashford to train apart from the rest of the squad.
What comes next for Marcus Rashford?
Rashford has two years left on his £300,000-a-week contract at Manchester United, and the club will be keen to avoid paying out £30m to release him.
Alan Shearer, the Premier League icon, believes Carrick should try to shift Rashford on this summer, as "too much may have gone on" behind closed doors for matters to be repaired at United.
Rashford will remain part of the squad, even if he is surplus to requirements, and Carrick will be motivated to bring him back into the fold if a move elsewhere cannot be secured.
The FIFA decree is intended to safeguard players from being isolated from their team-mates when a manager is dissatisfied, and it could have significant implications for Manchester United and Rashford.
As of the 2023-2024 season, Rashford is 28 years old and has a contract worth £300,000 per week.
