Marcus Rashford Trains Solo in South of France Ahead of Manchester United Return

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has been observed engaging in solo training sessions in Cannes, France, as he prepares for the upcoming season.

The 27-year-old recently concluded a loan spell at Aston Villa, where he contributed four goals and six assists. However, a hamstring injury sidelined him for the final four matches of the season and led to his omission from England's squad under manager Thomas Tuchel.  

During his time in Cannes, Rashford has shared images on Instagram showcasing his dedication to fitness, including workouts on a deck overlooking the ocean. He captioned one post "Everyday hussle," accompanied by a battery emoji.  

Off the field, Rashford was recently seen in St. Tropez with Swedish semi-professional padel player Jaki Palm, whom he reportedly met during rehabilitation in Dubai.  

Rashford's future at Manchester United remains uncertain. Reports suggest he does not foresee a continued role under current manager Ruben Amorim, who previously excluded him from the squad over alleged disciplinary issues—a claim Rashford denies. While Aston Villa holds a £40 million purchase option, they have yet to indicate their intentions. Meanwhile, European clubs such as Inter Milan and Barcelona have expressed interest in acquiring the forward.  

As Rashford continues his individual training regimen, the football community awaits clarity on his next career move.
