Carrick leaves door open for stunning Rashford return to Manchester United

United say Barcelona must pay the agreed €26 million if it want Rashford permanently, while Carrick says a return to Old Trafford is still possible.

  • On Friday, Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick refused to rule out a return for Marcus Rashford, whose future remains uncertain while on loan at Barcelona.
  • Barcelona holds a permanent transfer option for €30m, but reports suggest the Spanish club seeks to negotiate a lower fee after the current season concludes.
  • Manchester United executives maintain the agreed €26m fee is final, with sources indicating Rashford's recent form has increased his market value beyond original terms.
  • Champions League qualification would return Rashford's wages to their maximum, complicating an exit; Carrick prioritizes improving his current squad options.
  • Rashford has scored 12 goals in 43 appearances this season and is set to be part of England's World Cup squad as discussions continue.
