← Back to NewsCarrick Rules Out £100m Signing for Manchester United as Rashford Rejoins Squad
13 August 2026
In a significant development for Manchester United, manager Michael Carrick has confirmed that the club will not pursue a £100 million signing this summer due to financial constraints. This announcement comes on the heels of Marcus Rashford's return to the squad after a loan spell at Barcelona. Despite the forward's situation, Carrick emphasized that Rashford 'is our player,' even as both parties appear to be contemplating a potential departure. United has already invested £85 million in this transfer window, securing talents like Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos, but has historically refrained from making a single transfer exceeding the £100 million mark. With financial competition intensifying in the Premier League, Carrick's comments signal a cautious approach to future signings.
