Man Utd suggest change to Marcus Rashford's jersey number, possibly indicating he will stay with the team.

Marcus Rashford was a beloved figure at Manchester United, having proudly worn the iconic No.10 shirt from 2018 to 2025. However, upon his return to the club, he was handed a new shirt number, sparking speculation about his future at Old Trafford. Many believed that Rashford's time at United had come to an end after he was sidelined by manager Ruben Amorim in December 2024.

After loan spells at Aston Villa and Barcelona, it was expected that the talented forward would make a permanent move to the Spanish giants. However, they decided not to activate his buyout clause of £26 million. This left Rashford in a state of uncertainty, with few clubs expressing interest in him.

Meanwhile, United seemed hesitant to give him another chance. However, after his impressive performance at the World Cup, Rashford finally returned to training with the Red Devils after a long 18 months. He was all smiles, happily taking photos with fans and signing autographs.

According to Michael Carrick, Rashford will be included in the squad for their final two pre-season friendlies. "We have a full squad next week in Dublin," he confirmed. "We fly straight there and meet Leeds on Wednesday.

We have a few days in Dublin where we have the whole squad, including Marcus, Kobbie [Mainoo], and Lisandro [Martinez]. I've played with him [Rashford]. I played in the game he made his debut, so we have a history." Although this alone is not a confirmation of Rashford's future at United, the club has dropped hints that he will be staying with them by assigning him a new squad number.

Unfortunately, he cannot reclaim his beloved No.10 shirt as it was given to Matheus Cunha upon his arrival from Wolves last summer. Even his previous numbers, 19 and 39, are now taken by new players. However, it has been reported that Rashford will now wear the No.14, the same number he wore during his loan spell at Barcelona.

This number is usually reserved for an important first-team member. It seems that United has chosen this number to show their trust in Rashford and to signal his reintegration into the team, unless they can reach a deal with another club. Despite being approached by teams from Turkey and Saudi Arabia, Rashford's desire is to play for a top European club in order to secure his spot in the England squad.

While there have been rumors linking him to other English clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham, it appears that he will be returning to his boyhood club this season. Stay tuned for more updates on Rashford's future at Manchester United.
