Marcus Rashford makes feelings clear after being banished from Man Utd squad
Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford has shown himself training alone at Carrington after being isolated from the rest of the squad.
Rashford is on his way out from Old Trafford after falling out with manager Ruben Amorim over his training performances last season, with the England star eventually sent out on loan to Aston Villa.
The 27-year-old impressed at Villa Park but the Midlands side declined to sign him permanently and United are still intent on offloading the player - but that has proven difficult due to his eye-watering £325,000-a-week wages.
Rashford is one of four players who were given extra time off to find new clubs but he has since returned to training and has been told to train away from his United team-mates.
In fact, Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho Antony and Tyrell Malacia have all been told only to report for training at 5pm, when Amorim and the rest of the first team have already departed.
The England international showed fans he is still intent on getting fit despite being exiled from the United squad as he posted an Instagram story of himself doing pull-ups in the gym.
Another post showed Rashford bench pressing while lying down on a medicine ball as he steps up his preparations for the new season - despite not knowing which club he will be playing for.
Barcelona look like the most likely destination and a report last week claimed the La Liga side were ready to go "all in" to sign the winger, with hopes they could do a loan deal.
Sky in Germany have reported that Rashford is now the club's "priority target" after previous target Nico Williams signed a new 10-year deal at Athletic Bilbao.
Rashford is understood to be keen on moving to the Nou Camp as he looks to resurrect his career and make Thomas Tuchel's England World Cup squad next year.
But there have also been reports that Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho is eager to make a move for the winger, who he worked with at United.
The Sun has claimed Fenerbahce are willing to meet United's £40m valuation of the player, but it is unclear whether Rashford would want to continue his career in Turkey.

Revealed: The new state-of-the-art technology Man United will bring to Old Trafford to help player analysis
Manchester United will install state-of-the-art tracking technology at Old Trafford and Carrington after renewing their partnership deal with STATSports. The fixed infrastructure will be in use at the stadium and training ground following Monday's announcement that United's stars will continue to wear the Apex 2.0 GPS performance trackers. Insiders said it will remove the need for portable beacons and enable the club's analysts to monitor the players in action more accurately, saving coaching staff up to 20 hours a week which can now be spent on deeper analysis or providing better feedback. United said in a statement that the new agreement 'reinforces the club's commitment to implementing best-in-class performance hardware solutions'. Ed Leng, head of physical performance at United, added: 'At Manchester United, we're always looking to push the boundaries of player performance. 'Wearable trackers are a vital part of that process, and we're grateful for STATSports' continued support and partnership. 'Their Apex 2.0 trackers will enable us to unlock deeper insights across all men's and women's players spanning all training environments, from academy to first team. 'By expanding our fixed infrastructure at Carrington, Old Trafford and Leigh, we'll enhance real-time tracking capabilities helping us to better prepare, develop, and protect our players.' Sean O'Connor, co-founder of STATSports, said: 'Manchester United are a benchmark for ambition and excellence. 'This supplier partnership renewal is a testament to their belief in the value of high-performance and our role in delivering it. 'Apex 2.0 trackers enable United's staff to obtain up-to-date accurate information in respect of player availability, individual development and team performance. 'With the addition of fixed infrastructure across both training and matchday environments, we're helping embed a world-class performance culture across every touchpoint.'
