Rashford still has Man United ambitions

Marcus Rashford is still open to playing for Manchester United again.

BBC Sport report that Rashford has hopes of remaining at the club and would play if called upon by Ruben Amorim.

A number of clubs across Europe continue to be linked with Rashford, and it is said that a loan move is still the most likely outcome this month.
