There’s a chance Marcus Rashford could be back at Manchester United next season. So, Michael Carrick is the new head coach, right? He’s just replaced Ruben Amorim and he thinks the Englishman is a key player. He doesn’t want to let him go to Barcelona. The Catalans are happy with the forward’s performance on loan (10 goals and 12 assists in 32 matches) and want to buy him, but are trying to lower the €30 million price tag. Rashford himself is leaning towards staying in Spain, but he’s keeping the door open for a return to Old Trafford, especially if Carrick stays as manager.
There’s a chance Marcus Rashford could be back at Manchester United as early as next season. According to 433, Red Devils’ head coach Michael Carrick sees the Englishman as a key part of the team and isn’t keen on his full transfer to Barcelona.
Rashford joined the Catalans on loan last summer. Barcelona thought about other options to strengthen their attack, but in the end decided on the Englishman as a cheaper option. At the time, the footballer was in a rocky relationship with the then-Manchester United coach, Ruben Amorim.
Rashford quickly found his feet at Barcelona. In 32 matches, he scored 10 goals and made 12 assists, which convinced the club’s management that he was worth keeping. The Catalans have already decided to buy the player, but they think the €30 million price tag is a bit steep, so they’re trying to get that reduced.
Meanwhile, there have been some major changes at Old Trafford. After Amorim was let go, Michael Carrick stepped up as manager. Even though he was only a temporary coach, he still managed to improve the team’s performance, with Manchester United beating Manchester City and Arsenal quite easily. This got the management thinking about keeping him on.
The source says that if Carrick keeps his job, he’s relying on Rashford. The coach isn’t planning to let the winger go to Barcelona, and he sees a clear role for him in the future team. Rashford himself says he’d like to keep playing in Catalonia, but he’s not ruling out coming back to Manchester United, especially after the new coach.
