What reception would Rashford get back at Man Utd?

[Getty Images]Clearly just as United need active sellers to buy from, they need buyers so they can offload those players they do not want.

>In Marcus Rashford's case, there are a limited number of clubs globally who could match his current salary. And where a club are interested, the player has to want to join them.

>Judging by his recent social media post, he would not do anything to jeopardise his England place.

>BBC Sport has also been told of some Premier League clubs he would not be keen to move to.

>So where will Rashford be when the transfer window closes on 1 September? Currently, the likeliest answer, by some distance, is Manchester United.

>After that: Any Spanish club, any Turkish club, any German club. The vagueness there underlines the current lack of market for the 15th highest scorer in United's history, with 138 goals - someone who is only 17 short of a place in the top 10.

>There are plenty, including former captain Gary Neville, who feel Rashford's time at Old Trafford is over and there should be no reconciliation.

>In the end though, it may have to happen - and not everyone would be disappointed.

>"A fit and focused Marcus Rashford has the ability to be one of the best players," said Rashford's friend Sam Smith - the Wrexham forward who scored the winner in their pre-season victory over Carrick's team in Helsinki on Saturday - when speaking to the United We Stand podcast.

>"He has everything.

>"He has had a difficult time at United and getting away from it all was a good thing.

>"I don't know what is going to happen but as his friend, I hope he comes back and proves how good a player he was, how good he can be and starts scoring goals again."
