Marcus Rashford has received encouragement to return to Manchester United after his loan spell at Barcelona. Interim manager Michael Carrick has been credited with fostering a positive environment at Old Trafford, moving away from the tensions that characterized Rashford's exit from the club. Former coach Rene Meulensteen believes that Carrick's influence could be pivotal in allowing Rashford to reclaim his position and confidence within the team.

Upon Rashford's departure last summer, the club was under the management of Ruben Amorim, who openly stated that Rashford was not a priority for the team. However, the change in management and the shift in atmosphere at Manchester United since Carrick's appointment may facilitate a potential return for Rashford. This shift opens up possibilities for not only Rashford but also for other players who previously struggled, highlighting a potential revamp of the team dynamics.

Overall, the assurance given to Rashford by Carrick represents a significant turning point in his career, suggesting that the new management is willing to invest in players who once had a key role at the club. The upcoming summer transfer window could reveal more about the future of Rashford and his fit within Carrick’s strategy at Manchester United.
