Man United boss Michael Carrick has personally made it clear to Marcus Rashford that he can be adapted back into their squad for the 2026/27 season, claims the Sun. The Englishman saw Barcelona being unwilling to sign him permanently and he's poised to return to Old Trafford after an impressive loan spell. Carrick is an admirer of Rashford's qualities and has let him know that he'd welcome the winger's return to the first-team fold.

Manchester United are taking a cautious approach over their next managerial appointment despite Michael Carrick’s impressive start as interim head coach. Carrick has won five of his six games across two spells, lifting United back into the top-four picture, but the club are determined to follow a full recruitment process. United are wary of repeating past mistakes, with insiders pointing to previous decisions made too quickly.
