Final Bash! Rashford's Debauchery on a Yacht Before Returning to Manchester United, Carrick Welcomes His Return

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford will return next week to take part in Carrick's pre-season preparations. But before rejoining the team, the 28-year-old English prodigy made the most of his final opportunity by throwing a wild party on a luxury yacht. He paid for a celebration with bikini-clad girls and enjoyed pricey champagne with his pals.

According to The Sun, Rashford paid for a yacht trip in Saint-Tropez, France, with 10 female friends and other companions, but his girlfriend Lucia Loi was not present. Rashford's outfit appeared "simple" but was actually very expensive,

On the yacht, Rashford wore an NBA superstar Stephen Curry jersey, a pair of Louis Vuitton sneakers, a black Hublot watch worth £23,000, and a thick necklace with a pendant engraved with "Home is where the heart is."

A source said: "The England players feel they did extremely well in the World Cup, finishing third, and needed time to rest. It's great that Marcus could spend his time off enjoying the waves with those beautiful girls. He's really living his dream."

Rashford's dream this summer was to permanently transfer to Barcelona, but the La Liga champions gave up on the €30 million buyout clause, so he now has to return to the Red Devils and enjoy the highest salary in the team at £325,000 per week! Having made his debut for Manchester United at 18, Rashford last played for his parent club in the Europa League in December 2024.

After that, he fell out with head coach Ruben Amorim and was excluded from the dressing room. The Portuguese boss left him out for 11 consecutive games, even saying that using 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital would be better than the unfocused Rashford. Rashford responded by saying he wanted to leave the club he had served for over a decade to seek a new challenge. He was then loaned to Aston Villa in the Premier League and Barcelona in La Liga.

Interestingly, Rashford, who will return to Manchester United next week, could face Amorim's current team AC Milan in his first game back. United will first play against Leeds United next Wednesday, but Rashford, having just returned, might not participate. It is more likely that he will play in the final pre-season match against Milan on the weekend (August 15).

After the warm-up match against Paris Saint-Germain, Carrick publicly commented on Rashford's return for the first time this summer. He said: "I played with Marcus (Rashford) – I was on the pitch for his debut game, so we have history. Next week in Dublin, Manchester United will have a full squad. We will fly directly there, train together for a few days, and let the whole team bond. Marcus is part of that, as are Kobe (Mainoo) and Lisandro (Martinez). We look forward to seeing them."

Manchester United teammate Amad Diallo also publicly welcomed Rashford's return. "Now we need Rashford and Kobe, it's really exciting," Amad said. "We have two more games against Leeds and Milan, we need to improve our fitness, and hopefully we can win a trophy this season."

However, Manchester United and Liverpool legend Michael Owen suggested Arsenal sign Rashford. "Vinicius is no longer possible for Arsenal, so a move for someone like Rashford would be reasonable," Owen said. "I think this situation is very likely to happen because Arsenal are looking for a left winger, and considering him makes sense. He suits Arteta's tactical system and could work well with the other players. So if Arsenal make an offer to United, I think the transfer could happen."
