While Man Utd remain ‘active’ for a deal for Wharton, the Red Devils are planning to reintegrate Marcus Rashford into manager Michael Carrick’s first-team squad.
Rashford spent last season on loan at Barcelona from Man Utd and won LaLiga with the Catalan gaints.
The winger is due to return to Man Utd pre-season training, and transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has said that Carrick wants Rashford to stay.
Romano said on his YouTube channel: “Man Utd really feeling that there is concrete strong, likely chances to see Marcus Rashford staying at Manchester United.
“At the moment, there are no movements with other clubs.
“Rashford is not accepting Turkey or Saudi.
“These solutions are not interesting for Marcus Rashford.
“He is not going to consider that.
“And it’s not about the money, it’s not about the proposals.
“He doesn’t want to play in these clubs, at this stage of his career.
“So, for Rashford is stay at Man Utd or a very top, top club at the very end of the window.
“But at the moment, the most likely outcome is for Marcus Rashford to stay at Utd.
“Utd believe that at the end of the window, Rashford has a really big chance to stay at the club, to revive his career with Michael Carrick.
“So, strong, strong chances to see Marcus Rashford staying at Manchester United this summer.
“Obviously, Michael Carrick is a big factor because he will be very happy to continue with Marcus Rashford.
“He would be very happy to give him one more opportunity, so let’s follow the situation.
“But remember what I told you during the World Cup.
“It was the beginning of July.
“There are strong chances to see Rashford staying.
“Rashford has opened doors to the possibility of staying.
“So, now this could be the direction.”
