Michael Carrick would love to have Marcus Rashford back in his Manchester United squad this season, according to former Red Devils defender Wes Brown. Brown believes his old side also need to sign another centre-forward this summer, with Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins linked.
Rashford's hopes of a return to Barcelona are all but over after the Catalan club announced the signing of Karim Adeyemi on Thursday. Adeyemi is Barcelona's second signing of the summer, after they bought Anthony Gordon for just under £70m from Newcastle United.
The Red Devils are keen to offload Rashford's £325,000-a-week wages, as that salary no longer fits within the wage structure at Old Trafford. However, Brown believes Carrick would jump at the chance to reintegrate him into the squad. 'I'm sure Michael Carrick would love him back because it gives him another option,' Brown told the Mirror. 'If he could come into the scene this season, that helps out massively.'
Former United forward Louis Saha also weighed in, saying he would love to see an experienced striker signed to help develop Benjamin Sesko. Saha added that United could benefit from more defensive depth due to the increased number of games they will play next season. 'I am concerned that the current Man United squad won't be able to cope with the demands of next season,' Saha said via LiveFootballTickets.
United have already completed deals for Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans from Chelsea and Aston Villa for a combined £85m. But Brown believes his old side needs at least one more striker to challenge for trophies again.
