Manchester United interim manager Michael Carrick says no decision has been made on Marcus Rashford’s future at Old Trafford.
The 28-year-old forward spent six months at Aston Villa last season before spending the season on loan at Barcelona.
Rashford’s career at Old Trafford was put on hold last season amid a dispute with former Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim. Rashford’s loan deal at Spotify’s Camp Nou includes a £26 million option to buy.
However, reports suggest Barcelona are hesitant to make the deal permanent at this price and Carrick did nothing to head off the possibility when asked if the door should be left open for Rashford to play for United again.
“There are certain things where decisions need to be made in a timely manner. Marcus is in that situation,” Carrick said.
“At the moment, no decisions have been made. It will happen at some point because it has to, but no decisions have been made at this stage.”
Rashford has scored 12 goals and provided 13 assists in 43 games for Barcelona but has come under scrutiny due to his recent poor form for the La Liga leaders.
