According to The Sun, Rashford is expected to take the vacant No.14 shirt, which he wore during his loan spell at Barcelona. He spent the previous 18 months on loan at Aston Villa and Barcelona.
The Sun reports that Rashford’s decision reflects his desire to avoid disrupting Cunha’s status as he works to rebuild trust with Carrick, the coaching staff and supporters.
The 28-year-old enjoyed an impressive Barcelona spell, scoring 14 goals and providing 15 assists in 49 appearances. He will now look to earn a regular starting role at Old Trafford.
