​Why Marcus Rashford was always a Man Utd great!Almost every Manchester United fan thought Marcus Rashford would sign for Barcelona this summer, given his form while on loan in Catalonia and his more than cheap buy option, Hansi Flick’s side could have signed the England international for just £26 million, but chose to move for Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon and Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi instead. Rashford had another chance to leave Old Trafford, as he had a £40 million release clause available to all clubs other than Liverpool or Manchester City, but that also expired before an official approach came in. Michael Carrick chose not only to include Rashford in the squad against Hull City in the first game of the season, but he also looked to him as the first substitution at half-time. Who could still try to sign Marcus Rashford? While Barcelona seem to have given up on signing Rashford, some sides could still make an attempt to sign him before the transfer deadline expires on Tuesday, 1 September. Tyrone Marshall has reported that Arsenal and Chelsea have been mentioned as clubs that could make a late attempt, but all parties now expect Rashford to remain at Manchester United. Fenerbahçe have also been interested in United’s left winger, but they have been told Rashford does not want to join the club, despite their Champions League campaign this season. United will also be playing Champions League football, which could have been a factor in Rashford’s decision to stay at Old Trafford. Michael Carrick’s side will play Bayern Munich, Roma, RB Leipzig, and Sabah at home before trips to Atletico Madrid, Sporting CP, Villarreal, and Como. Michael Carrick Must Return ‘Fantastic’ Man Utd Star To Unbeaten Role vs Ipswich TownManchester United host Ipswich Town in their first home game of the 2026/27 Premier League campaign and are aiming to get their season off the mark after defeat to Hull City on the opening weekend.Should Rashford start against Ipswich Town? After the dismal defeat against Hull City last weekend, Manchester United face another newly-promoted side on Sunday, as Ipswich Town make the trip to Old Trafford. Carrick looked set to have the opportunity to reunite with Kieran McKenna, whom he coached under Ole Gunnar Solskjær, but Gary O’Neill has since taken charge at Portman Road. Michael Carrick will be desperate to put things right and get three points on the board to kickstart Manchester United’s 2026/27 Premier League campaign, and could look towards Marcus Rashford from the start. While he was not brilliant, as no United player was, Rashford impressed from the bench against Hull City – forming a good partnership with Luke Shaw once again. Against a team that could sit back, Rashford’s running, combined with his relationship with Shaw, could be the difference-maker on Sunday.
