1w ago00:02:10Tap to summarizeMarcus Rashford could be returning to Manchester United after a stellar loan spell at Barcelona, where he scored 11 goals and made 14 assists while helping them win La Liga and reach the Champions League quarters. Despite his recent praise for United’s future and Barca’s decision not to trigger his £26M buy clause, his return raises questions about wage costs, transfer plans, and whether he still has the spark for Carrick’s squad — especially with fans split over his past struggles versus his undeniable talent. With Carrick’s personal connection to Rashford and United’s firm stance against loans or cut-price deals, a reunion may be inevitable unless something major changes in the next few days.
