Rashford is reportedly unsettled at Old Trafford and could explore his options in the summer with Newcastle viewed as a potential destination for the England international.

And Rashford could be joined by his Red Devil’s teammate Henderson this summer with the Magpies potentially set to reignite their interest in the goalkeeper.

Henderson had briefly been linked with Newcastle in January and has failed to usurp David De Gea at Manchester United, meaning an Old Trafford exit could be on the cards at the end of the season.

Guimaraes made his first start for Newcastle United against Southampton on Thursday, crowning his performance with a superbly taken goal at St Mary’s.

Guimaraes reacted to the news of his call up by tweeting: ‘Estar preparado para cada passo e momento que a vida nos proporciona. Cheguei até aqui com muito esforço e trabalho, e tenho consciência que preciso fazer ainda mais para me manter em alto nível.’

This translates as: ‘Be prepared for every step and moment that life gives us. I got here with a lot of effort and work, and I'm aware that I need to do even more to keep myself at a high level.’

Brazil will host Chile on Thursday, March 24 (11:30pm kick-off) before travelling to face Bolivia on Wednesday, March 30 (12:30am kick-off). Brazil have already booked their place in Qatar for the World Cup at the end of the year.
