Speculation is heating up around Marcus Rashford’s future as reports suggest that Michael Carrick could make a bold move for the Manchester United forward if he secures his current managerial role on a permanent basis. The potential reunion has already sparked debate among fans, with many questioning whether a return would benefit both player and club.
Rashford’s recent seasons have been a mix of brilliance and inconsistency. While his pace and finishing ability remain elite, his struggles with form and confidence have raised doubts about his long-term role at Old Trafford. Sources indicate that Carrick believes he can unlock Rashford’s best version again by offering him a more defined tactical role and greater attacking freedom.
Carrick, who knows Rashford well from his time at Manchester United, reportedly views the England international as a player still capable of leading a frontline. His admiration is said to stem from Rashford’s work ethic and his ability to perform in high-pressure matches.
However, the move would not be without risk. Rashford’s wage demands and recent form in Red jersey could make negotiations complicated. Additionally, United’s long-term project may lean towards younger attacking profiles, making a return less straightforward than it appears.
