England forward Marcus Rashford has been enjoying a break on the French Riviera, spending time on a hired boat with ten female companions. The outing comes after a successful World Cup campaign in which England secured a third-place finish.
Rashford, who spent the past year on loan at Spanish club Barcelona, is set to return to Manchester United ahead of the upcoming Premier League season. The team’s new pre-season fixtures include a friendly against Leeds United in Dublin on Wednesday, followed by a match against AC Milan, now managed by former United coach Ruben Amorim.
The forward has a long history with Manchester United, having made his senior debut at 18 in 2016 and appearing 426 times across all competitions. However, his relationship with the club became strained last season. Rashford last played for United in December 2024 during a Europa League match against Viktoria Plzen. He reportedly fell out with then-manager Amorim, who controversially excluded him from the squad for 11 consecutive games. Amorim made remarks suggesting he preferred to field his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach over Rashford, further intensifying tensions.
These difficulties followed Rashford’s expression of interest in seeking a new challenge away from the club where he had developed for more than a decade. Amorim was dismissed by Manchester United on January 5, 2026, after 14 months in charge, amid disappointing results and escalating friction with club leadership.
Looking ahead, Rashford’s future at United remains uncertain. While he is scheduled to rejoin the squad under Michael Carrick’s interim management, he has also been linked with a potential £80 million transfer to Premier League rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. How he will integrate back into the team will be closely watched as the new season approaches.
