Rashford made his first United appearance since December 2024 last week, coming on as a half-time substitute in the 2-0 defeat at Hull City following loan spells at Aston Villa and Barcelona.
Barcelona had the option to sign him permanently for £26m but chose not to trigger it, instead spending £69.3m on his England teammate Anthony Gordon, leaving United - who have found no buyer for their highest earner on £325,000 a week - almost certain to keep him on their books at least until the winter window.
It marks a striking reversal for a player frozen out entirely under previous manager Rúben Amorim, who exiled Rashford to train away from the first-team squad last summer. With Amorim gone and Rashford's former teammate Michael Carrick now in the dugout, Berrada struck a notably warmer tone ahead of United's first home game of the season against Ipswich Town.
"We will have our new signings Andrey (Santos), Youri (Tielemans), Karl (Darlow), Tynan (Thompson) and Carlos (Baleba) here this afternoon. We know you will give them all a very warm welcome and get behind them as they begin their Manchester United journey," Berrada wrote in his programme notes.
"We're also very pleased to welcome Marcus back to the team. We believe that they will all help to improve the squad as we compete on multiple fronts."
Rashford impressed on loan last season, contributing 14 goals and 14 assists in all competitions, but Barcelona were ultimately unable to meet his wage demands. With the transfer window closing at 11pm on Tuesday and no realistic suitors currently in the picture, Manchester United look set to make the best of a situation neither side had originally planned for.
Berrada's programme notes did not address the club's much-criticised ticket-touting clampdown, which has seen numerous season-ticket holders handed year-long bans over alleged offences many insist they did not commit.
