(Photo) Rashford & Lingard pose with friends before pre-season return

Manchester United duo Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard have been photographed together with their friends before returning to pre-season training.

Lingard, 27, shared the photo on his official Instagram account. It shows team-mate Rashford standing next to him.

We already knew the pair were close friends but it looks like they went on a group holiday during their time off. Not the greatest idea during a global pandemic — it has to be said.

United’s Premier League opener is on September 19, against Crystal Palace, and Rashford will be looking to get off to a goalscoring start after struggling for form post-lockdown.

Check out the photo uploaded by Lingard on Instagram:

On the other hand, Lingard has a lot to prove this season if he stays at United.
