The effect of escaping Manchester United was no exception to Marcus Rashford.
David Onstein, a reporter for The Athletic, a global sports media outlet with the highest public confidence, reported on the 14th (Korea time) that Marcus Rashford is set to return to the English national team.
Onstain says 'Rashford is set to return to England after a 12-month hiatus. Rashford has not played in an A-match since a friendly with Brazil in March 2024'

It is a reversal through leasing. Rashford moved to Aston Villa on loan through the previous winter transfer window. The lease period is until the end of the 2024-2025 season, and the contract included a full recruitment option.
It was the result of a severe slump at Manchester United. Rashford, who has been the team's mainstay since his first-team debut in 2016, has been Manchester United's headache in recent seasons. Last season, he also caused problems by showing attitude problems several times. It occurred ahead of the FA Cup Newport County game during the 2023-2024 season. At the time, drinking and visiting clubs caused a huge controversy. News broke that he was absent from training just before the game after drinking alcohol, and stories emerged that even teammates turned their backs on him. Since then, Rashford has been fined 650,000 pounds (about 1 billion won).
His feud with Coach Hu Beng was also a problem. "Training performance, game performance, meals, how we interact with our team members are important," Amorim said, while British media pointed to Rashford's behavioural problems, saying he went out despite strict rules not to go to the bar before the game. Rashford, who was excluded from Amorim's plans, was forced to leave the team.

But since leaving United, Rashford has looked completely different. Since his loan from Villa, he has recorded four assists in nine games and has been reborn as a key player for coach Unai Emery with satisfactory performances. Along with his performance, Thomas Tuchel, England's coach, will also return to the England team, paying attention to Rashford.
Rashford, who had a chance to turn around by escaping Manchester United, also succeeded in returning to the English national team of his dreams. A lot of attention is expected to be paid to Rashford's performance in the A-match in March.
