Carrick wants Rashford return if Man Utd give him long-term job

The Telegraph says if the Geordie lands to job permanently, he will lobby to bring Rashford back from his loan with Barcelona.

As it stands, Barca can sign Rashford permanently in the summer for €30m. Though significantly for Carrick, Barca rate the clause as overpriced.

Rashford has nine goals and 12 assists from 31 games for Barca this term.

At United, his deal still runs to 2028 and he would have to accept a hefty cut on his current wages to join Barca outright.

Carrick played with Rashford at United before hanging up the boots and is convinced he can bring out the best in his former teammate if given the opportunity.
