Michael Carrick, the current coach of Manchester United, has backed forward Marcus Rashford as the new Premier League season approaches. Carrick described Rashford as a player who brings something different to the team and noted that he has returned in good condition, remaining part of Carrick's plans for the upcoming campaign.

In a post by Fabrizio Romano on X, Carrick stated, “Rashford is our player and he’s come back great. I’ve known him a long time and he gives us something a little bit different.” Carrick expressed optimism about the team's prospects as they prepare for the new season.
