Ruben Amorim expects Marcus Rashford to return to the end of the season after his loan to Aston Villa, and will make a decision on the future of England at Manchester United this summer.
It appeared this week that Rashford is unlikely to play for United under Amorim after the player was frozen before joining Villa in January. Rashford wishes to join a club in the Champions League and hesitates to move to London.
Amorim confirmed that the 27 -year -old was to return to the club with Antony and Tyrell Malacia who were loaned respectively to Real Betis and PSV Eindhoven.
Rashford contributed four goals and six assists in 17 appearances for Villa, and obtained a reminder in England on the back of its improved form.
“All the players who are ready, they will come back, then the club will decide what to do at the end of the season,” said Amorim. “The talent of Rashford, Antony’s talent, all these players have talent and they have to put this in the team.
“So we are really happy because if you put a player on loan, the best thing for us is to happen and they happen.”

Meanwhile, United will go to Bournemouth on Sunday in the hope of climbing the table from 14th place and avoiding injuries before the semi-final of the Europa league on Thursday against Bilbao athletic.
“The objective is that we have to face it,” said Amorim after seeing United undergoing a record defeat of the 15th Premier League of the home season against the Wolves last Sunday. “We must have this feeling that each game here is important and we have to win every match. It is important not to lose.
“Of course, you see the context. We will face this game with the best team. We had a full week to prepare, some of the players did not play against the Wolves, so recovering the players is not a bad thing. I will try to prepare this game and try to win the next one.
“With our current team, you must take a risk and choose priority. I want the best players in each game and sometimes it is difficult for me to take a risk in each match. But right now, we have to make choices and I want to protect young players. I don’t want to gather everyone in the same game so that they cannot play. I want to help the club and try to help.
When asked if the owners of the club are friendly to the situation, Amorim added: “ We have to put our standards really, really high and I think that every day, the advice understands the context, what we want to do and our idea is really clear.
“I am critical because we do not win any games. We are Manchester United and we are near the bottom of the table. We must be critical, whatever happens. This is the feeling I want, this feeling inside Carrington.
