Marcus Rashford: United star responds to Michael Carrick’s interest

Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford has made it clear what he thinks of a potential return to his parent club.

Loan so far

Rashford has so far had a very productive loan at FC Barcelona.

He recently scored against Elche and provided an assist versus Albacete in the quarter-final of La Copa del Rey.

The 28-year-old now has 10 goals and 13 assists this season in all competitions for the Catalans.

Future plans

There have been numerous indications that the Spanish club is delighted with how he has settled in Barcelona.

Their manager Hansi Flick has been exceptionally complimentary of the attacker, and it is believed that he is the player’s strongest advocate at the club.

With the sacking of Ruben Amorim, it had been floated that Rashford might be willing to return to his boyhood club, but this seems increasingly unlikely following recent reports.

No way back

The Mirror reports that, “Marcus Rashford has no intention of returning to Manchester United from Barcelona this summer.”

What’s more, he “wants his long-term future resolved before England head to the 2026 World Cup in North America.”

It had been thought that Michael Carrick would attempt to keep Rashford if he were given the permanent head coaching role, but it seems Rashford would not play ball on this notion.

The paper continues to report that, “Rashford is loving life in Spain – and has told Barca he wants to remain at the Nou Camp.”

Nonetheless, it is not just his love for Barcelona but also his desire never to play again for United which is noteworthy.

The Mirror explains that even if Barcelona do not meet his £26 million asking price, he would look to join another team that is not Manchester United.

He would also be willing to reduce his wages significantly to secure a dream move to the Camp Nou, according to the outlet.
