Some Manchester United supporters believe first-team coach Mike Phelan has aimed a subtle dig at Marcus Rashford after the England international shared videos on social media of him gearing up for the start of pre-season training.
Rashford, who was left out of the England squad for the four UEFA Nations League fixtures earlier this month, is currently in the US ahead of pre-season officially getting under way in a week's time on June 27. The attacker will be among the first crop of players to return to Carrington after not being called up for international duty this summer.
Despite having jetted off to the US for a holiday, the United academy graduate has been uploading videos and photographs of himself working hard on his fitness levels, making it clear that he is determined to put a disappointing 2021/22 campaign behind him. He scored just five goals in 32 appearances last season and looked a shadow of his former self.
