Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has been handed a possible new escape route out of Old Trafford.

It was confirmed on Monday that Rashford had returned to United following his loan spell at Villa, where he now faces an uncertain future. The 27-year-old is being heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford with United also preparing for the possibility that he could leave the club on loan rather than on a permanent deal.

Marcus Rashford is reported to be “prioritising” a move abroad should he secure an exit from Manchester United this summer. But beyond holding onto hope that Barcelona will have the financial wherewithal to sign him, another option looks to be emerging in the form of Bayern Munich.
