Michael Carrick makes Marcus Rashford's Manchester United position clear with statement
Marcus Rashford has returned to Manchester United for preseason training after his loan spell at Barcelona, with the England international's future one of this transfer window's biggest question marks
Michael Carrick has declared Marcus Rashford as part of Manchester United's squad amidst ongoing uncertainty surrounding the forward's future, according to The Mirror. The England international, 28, returned from his season-long loan at Barcelona to participate in the club's preseason training. Initially, Barcelona had planned to activate their £26 million ($34.8 million) buy-back clause, but they ultimately decided against it after the loan period ended.
Manchester United subsequently placed a £40 million ($53 million) valuation on Rashford, but no potential deal has materialized as the summer transfer window nears its conclusion. Rashford is set to return to Old Trafford for the first time since December 2024, when United faced AC Milan in their final preseason friendly. Former United teammate and current assistant manager Carrick, who knows Rashford well, praised the forward, stating that he has been in great spirits since his return and is a unique player for the team.
