Marcus Rashford has reportedly made a decision on his future after his impressive loan spell at Aston Villa.
During the January transfer window, Rashford, 27, left Old Trafford for Villa Park after falling out of favour under United boss Ruben Amorim.
Since joining Villa, Rashford has managed four goals and six assists in 17 matches across all competitions for Unai Emery's side.

However, the Englishman's season is now said to be over after he suffered an injury last month.
The Athletic's David Ornstein said at the time: "Marcus Rashford expected to miss rest of season with hamstring injury.
"No surgery + rehab at #AVFC as tests ongoing. #THFC game not totally ruled out but highly likely campaign over & 27yo to focus on getting fit for England games in June."

After showing glimpses of his old self at Villa, Rashford's future has been a hot topic as the summer transfer window approaches.
Over the last few weeks, Rashford has been linked with a host of different clubs, including the likes of Villa, Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund.
However, it has now been claimed that Rashford has made up his mind on his future.
Senior sports reporter for The Express, Charlie Gordon, wrote on social media: "Understand Marcus Rashford would rather stay at Aston Villa than move abroad this summer.

"£350k-a-week wage is the main sticking point. Man Utd return still highly unlikely."
It has been suggested that Rashford is leaning towards staying at Villa after a successful spell working with Emery.
Speaking last month, Villa boss Emery was asked whether a decision has been made regarding the forward's future at the club.

He replied: "Not yet. The most important thing is the challenge now and this afternoon, recovering and then preparing for the match against Brighton tomorrow.
"Still there are a lot of matches to play. If we are in the Champions League, if we are in the Europa League, if we are in the European Conference League or not in Europe or winning a trophy, it is completely different."
Emery added: "A decision about each individual players… it is to get the best of them and the best of us. We don’t want to waste time thinking about it."
Villa are back in Premier League action on Friday night when they take on Tottenham Hotspur at Villa Park.
