Carrick refuses to rule out Rashford return to Man Utd after Barcelona spell...
Michael Carrick has refused to rule out the possibility of Marcus Rashford returning to Manchester United once his loan spell at Barcelona ends.
The England forward has not featured for United since December 2024 and spent the end of last season on loan at Aston Villa before joining Barca for the current campaign.
The 28-year-old has enjoyed a solid season with the LaLiga leaders, but reports suggest Barcelona are unsure about triggering a reported £26.1 million clause to make the move permanent.
That could leave Rashford's future uncertain ahead of a summer he hopes to spend with England at the World Cup in North America.
Rashford still has two years left on a lucrative contract that is set to rise by a reported 25 per cent next season if United qualify for the Champions League.
Asked about Rashford potentially returning to Old Trafford, United interim boss Carrick told reporters on Friday: “I just think there are decisions to be made in time on certain things, and obviously Marcus is in that situation.”
“But at this point in time, nothing's been decided. And it will be, because it has to be at a certain point, but at this stage, there's nothing to say.”
🗣️ @JacobsBen: "I'd be really surprised [if Rashford came back to United]. My understanding is that Marcus Rashford's future at Old Trafford is over, PERIOD.

Third-placed United can move a step closer to securing a Champions League spot next season if they win at sixth-placed Chelsea on Saturday.
United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo could return from injury at Stamford Bridge after becoming a key player under Carrick.
Like Rashford, the 20-year-old Mainoo's future looked uncertain under former United boss Ruben Amorim.

United defender Harry Maguire is another whose revival under Carrick could give Rashford hope of a return to his boyhood club.
“Certainly, from my perspective, whoever's here, I want to work with, make the best out of and help them improve,” Carrick said.
“So at the moment, it's this squad of players, and there's obviously players on loan, and whatever happens with that later on will happen with that later on.”
Marcus Rashford take. A. Bow. 🚀
