Marcus Rashford made his return to action for Manchester United during a pre-season friendly against AC Milan, taking to the pitch wearing the club's vacant No. 9 shirt.

Fourth Shirt Number at Old Trafford
The No. 9 becomes the fourth different squad number Rashford has worn for Manchester United's senior team, having previously played in the No. 39, No. 19, and No. 10 shirts across his Old Trafford career.
Manchester United said ahead of the match that the pre-season assignment is not yet confirmed as permanent for the upcoming 26-27 season.
