Marcus Rashford reported back to the training in Carrington on Monday and Tuesday, even though they were one of the five players who were given extensive leave to secure movements away from Manchester United.
The club directive would also have kept Rashford away from Ruben Amorim, with whom he fell before he went to Aston Villa on loan for the second half of last season.
The International of England did not participate in team training with the rest of the Red Devil team and completed an individual session instead.
Together with Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia, he still has access to the medical and rehabilitations at Carrington if necessary.
Rashford, whose no. 10 sweater was handed over to new signing Matheus Cunha, was back later this month when Amorim and the Red Devils Squad were taken to the US during the pre-season tour.
By giving the group an estimated return date and time to secure a move, while they have access to the medical department – both on the training field and remotely – United have been careful not to conflict with the contract.
Last week's news came after Amorim returned to Carrington on Friday and it turned out that Rashford expected to play a complete role in the preseason and to give 100 percent while he remains a united player.
The 27-year-old, who spent the second half of last season on loan in Aston Villa after Amorim criticized his attitude in training, is linked to Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
United comes from Brentford after the signing of Bryan Mbeumo, but will probably require sales to finance further trips on the market.
The preseason schedule of the Red Devils starts with a collision against Leeds in Stockholm on July 19 for their journey.
