Carrick praises Rashford’s revival amid doubts over United future

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick commended Marcus Rashford's return to training after a 18-month loan spell at Aston Villa and Barcelona. Rashford had fallen out of favor with former manager Ruben Amorim in December 2024. The England international is expected to face intense scrutiny as the new Premier League season commences.

Rashford himself expressed desire to focus on playing football without his name being a constant topic. Carrick noted that Rashford looked fit, sharp, and ready to play football upon his return. United is actively seeking to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes on September 1. They have already signed Belgian playmaker Youri Tielemans and Brazil international Andrey Santos.

Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Carlos Baleba remains a target for the club after a failed attempt to sign him last year. United opens their Premier League season against Hull City on Saturday.
