Part 4/8:
It’s important to note Rashford's disengagement from the field; he has not played for Manchester United since a match against Nottingham Forest in early December, resulting in an eight-match absence. This lack of playing time could hinder his long-term ambitions, such as re-entering the England squad under manager Thomas Tuchel. The need for a timely resolution to this situation is evident, as the longer Rashford remains inactive, the more unclear his future becomes.
If Rashford stays beyond the January transfer deadline, it is anticipated that Manchester United could be compelled to reintegrate him into the squad. This decision would be critical not only for the team’s performance but also for maintaining Rashford's market value if the club intends to sell him in the summer.
