According to a report by The Mirror, the sudden dismissal of Rúben Amorim has opened a surprising door for Marcus Rashford to revive his Manchester United career. The 28-year-old forward was frozen out during Amorim’s brief tenure, leading to consecutive loan spells at Aston Villa and currently FC Barcelona. With the primary obstacle to his return now removed, the landscape for Rashford’s future at Old Trafford has shifted significantly ahead of the summer transfer window.

Rashford’s current situation at Barcelona remains complicated. While he has expressed a desire to stay in Catalonia, Barcelona is reportedly hesitant to trigger the €30 million buy-out clause included in his loan agreement. Catalan media outlets suggest the club might only consider a permanent deal if the transfer fee is substantially lowered. If an agreement is not reached by June, Rashford is contractually obligated to return to Manchester, where his current deal runs until June 2028.

The departure of Amorim allows the incoming managerial staff—potentially led by an interim like Ole Gunnar Solskjær—to reassess Rashford’s role within the squad. Having scored over 130 goals for his boyhood club, Rashford remains a valuable asset if his form can be restored. As United looks to rebuild yet again, the "homegrown hero" may find himself back in the starting lineup next season, provided the new leadership believes he can still deliver at the highest level.
