Marcus Rashford's hopes of returning to Barcelona have ended after the Catalan club signed Karim Adeyemi, leaving Manchester United as likely destination. Former United defender Wes Brown believes manager Michael Carrick would welcome the forward back into the squad.
"I'm sure Michael Carrick would love him back because it gives him another option," Brown told the Mirror. He added that if Carrick had the final say, Rashford would definitely be reintegrated, though United's desire to offload his £325,000-a-week wages could complicate matters.
United have already completed deals for Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans from Chelsea and Aston Villa for a combined £85 million. However, Brown argues that the club still need another centre-forward to challenge for trophies, with Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins among those linked.
Former United striker Louis Saha echoed the need for an experienced striker to support Benjamin Sesko, and expressed concerns about squad depth ahead of a season with four competitions. "I am concerned that the current Man United squad won’t be able to cope with the demands of next season," Saha said, noting the drastic increase in matches.
Carrick's first full season as manager will test both his and his players' resolve as they aim to balance Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and League Cup commitments.
