Marcus Rashford was all smiles as he posed inside Portland Timbers' home dressing room but don't worry Manchester United fans he hasn't signed for the MLS side.

He instead took time out of his travels to visit the club based near Nike's World Campus where he has been training ahead of the new season.

Portland Timbers tweeted: 'It was a pleasure to have Marcus Rashford come visit us. Thanks for stopping! Enjoy the Rose City, Marcus.'

MANCHESTER UNITED US TOUR DATES 2017

JULY 15 - VS LA GALAXY

JULY 17 - VS REAL SALT LAKE

JULY 20 - VS MAN CITY

JULY 23 - VS REAL MADRID

JULY 26 - VS BARCELONA

Rashford had earlier spent his summer break in Miami with Jesse Lingard but appears to have gone his separate ways from his close pal and Manchester United team-mate.

The 19-year-old may have bumped into two fellow Englishmen while looking around the Timbers' facilities as Jack Barmby and Liam Ridgewell both ply their trade at Providence Park.

Barmby, who is the son of former England international Nicky, progressed through the academy at United before ending up in the States.

Rashford will be spending more time in America ahead of the Premier League campaign as United are scheduled to compete in the International Champions Cup.

Jose Mourinho's men begin their US tour against LA Galaxy on July 15 before facing Real Salt Lake, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona before travelling back to Europe.

Mourinho will be hoping executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward can add a new forward to his ranks before they fly out next Sunday.

Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata is at the top of his summer wishlist but the Spanish giants want more than the £60million United are prepared to pay.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's departure was confirmed on Saturday when the iconic striker was removed from United's list of first-team stars on their official website.
