MARCUS RASHFORD has been spotted training on his own in the south of France as he prepares to reunite with Manchester United.
The 27-year-old spent the second half of the season on loan from his boyhood club at Aston Villa.
While there he impressed, scoring four goals and adding six assists, but he missed the final four games of the season through a hamstring injury.
That knock also kept Rashford from being named in Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad for clashes against Andorra and Senegal.
Earlier this month the star had been seen chatting to Swedish semi-pro padel star Jaki Palm and a female pal in St Tropez while on holiday.
And since then Rashford has shared pictures of himself getting back to training on his Instagram page.
Rashford shared a picture of him training on some decking with a dreamy ocean view as he lifted a leg up for balance.
Another snap depicted him in the middle of a run, while a third showed him taking some advice from his trainer.
He captioned the post: “Everyday hussle,” alongside a battery emoji, while the location of it was tagged as Cannes, France.
Rashford is said to have met Jaki when he visited Dubai in April to address his hamstring issue.
A source said: “Marcus went to have rehab for a hamstring injury in Dubai and was introduced to Jaki.
“She then joined him with his mates and another woman in St Tropez for a holiday. It’s all very casual but Jaki has told her friends she’s grown close to him.”
Rashford’s future is up in the air at the moment.
It is unclear whether Aston Villa intend to trigger the £40million purchase clause inserted into their loan transfer deal with the Red Devils.
However, European heavyweights Inter Milan and Barcelona are both said to be interested in a deal to land the ace.
Sources close to Rashford told exclusively told SunSport he doesn’t see a future at Old Trafford under Ruben Amorim.
Amorim froze Rashford out of the Man Utd squad in December after he allegedly went on a night out before the Manchester derby.
Rashford has denied that allegation.
However, Amorim appears to be sticking to his guns and is prepared to sell the Carrington graduate to fund his rebuild of the squad.
