The England star last donned United colours in December 2024, against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League after Amorim took issue with his application in training.
His last squad inclusion came in a home defeat to Newcastle on December 30 before a six-month loan at Aston Villa and a season with Barcelona.

Although Rashford reunited with Michael Carrick and the squad in Dublin this week, the late World Cup returnee sat out the 1-1 draw against Leeds at Croke Park alongside Kobbie Mainoo and Lisandro Martinez.
United travelled to Wroclaw from the Irish capital on Friday afternoon after training for the final time at their County Kildare training base earlier that morning.

They took a large group over the Irish Sea for that camp, but some players have returned home and a smaller squad will travel to Poland for the fixture against the Italian giants.
The clash gains a spicy subplot with Amorim, who is already under-fire in Italy after two months in the role, in the other dugout.
The former United boss will also come up against Mainoo, who was also sidelined during his horror 18-month tenure.
One of Amorim’s favourites, Mason Mount travelled home as a precaution after suffering a knock against Paris Saint-Germain last Saturday.

Benjamin Sesko was due to get minutes in United’s final friendly, but he will miss every pre-season match ahead of their season opener at Hull City.
Amorim has told seven Milan players they are up for sale, including Fikayo Tomori and Youssouf Fofana.
Amorim last played Rashford in the game against Viktoria Plzen with that line-up, including other players who have since moved on.
Andre Onana was in goal but is now starting his second season on loan at Trabzonspor in Turkey.

In the back three were Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt and current free agent Tyrell Malacia.
Malacia was released by the Red Devils at the end of the 2025/26 season after his contract expired.
The midfield also includes a player who has left in the shape of Casemiro.
The Brazilian became a key member of the squad last season but still walked away at the end of his deal and now plays for Inter Miami with Lionel Messi.
Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes and Joshua Zirkzee were all also in the starting team against Plzen.
Rashford was hauled off in the 56th minute with United 1-0 down to the European minnows.
His replacement was Rasmus Hojlund, who bagged a brace to flip the scoreline on its head and win the game.
