- Rashford said he wants to play football "without my name being mentioned every day" in response to a Stick to Football podcast clip posted on X
- Jamie Carragher asked "Can we do a podcast without mentioning Rashford?" on the show, venting frustration at co-host Gary Neville repeatedly raising the forward
- Rashford, 28, looks set to stay at Manchester United after spending last season on loan at Barcelona, where he won the La Liga title
- Harry Maguire said after United's 4-2 friendly defeat by AC Milan on Saturday that he hoped Rashford would stay at Old Trafford, calling him a "big asset" and "huge threat"
- Rashford could feature in United's Premier League opener against Hull on Saturday, with his last competitive appearance for the club coming under former manager Ruben Amorim in December 2024
Why it matters: Maguire's public endorsement of Rashford as a 'big asset' and 'huge threat' signals dressing room support for retaining the 28-year-old ahead of Saturday's Premier League opener against Hull, giving United manager Amorim's successor a direct nudge to keep the forward whose Barcelona loan yielded a league title.
