Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is expected to return to Carrington next week.
He spent the previous campaign on loan at Barcelona, netting 28 goals and helping the Catalans claim the La Liga title.
The Spanish champions had the option to complete a permanent £26 million transfer but ultimately chose not to activate the clause.
Rashford is currently on an extended break after his involvement in the FIFA World Cup but is set to begin pre-season under United head coach Michael Carrick.
Many believed Rashford had already played his final match for United, but there is now a genuine possibility that Carrick reintegrates him into the squad.
Amorim played a crucial role in forcing Rashford out
Rashford actually scored the first goal of the Ruben Amorim era at Old Trafford before everything rapidly unravelled.
Amorim excluded Rashford from more than 10 matchday squads before eventually approving his loan move to Aston Villa in January 2025.
From that moment onwards, the academy graduate never represented his boyhood club again.
Now, football has handed Rashford an opportunity that few could have predicted.
The Red Devils will face AC Milan in their final pre-season friendly on August 15.
The Italian giants recently appointed Amorim as their new head coach.
Many United supporters are already eagerly anticipating the encounter, hoping Carrick can get the better of his predecessor.
Although Amorim endured a difficult spell at Old Trafford, supporters continued to back him throughout his tenure.
Many fans were disappointed by the manner of his departure, believing he failed to properly acknowledge either the club or its supporters.
Rashford may not start against Milan after returning later than most of the squad but he could make a brief second-half appearance.
If Rashford were to score against Amorim’s Milan side, it would undoubtedly be a deeply satisfying moment for him.
