“We’ve spoken and he wants to come back home”

ust when Manchester United supporters believed that door had been locked for good, an unexpected revelation has thrown it wide open once again.

A former United standout — once tipped as one of Old Trafford’s brightest prospects — is actively weighing up a return. Not in the distant future. Not as a vague possibility. But now.

And according to people close to the situation, the discussion that reignited everything has already taken place.

“We’ve talked,” the player admitted softly.
“And yes — he wants to come back home.”

That alone was enough to ignite fan debate.

But what came next sent shockwaves.

“I SPOKE TO CARRICK — AND I WAS STRAIGHT WITH HIM”

The player didn’t dodge the truth or hide behind polite phrasing. He addressed the core issue head-on — and named the barrier blocking his return.

“I spoke to Carrick and told him plainly,” he said.
“I can’t be in the squad with him. We went through too much back then.”

No names were spoken publicly — but within the club, there is little doubt about who he meant.

This isn’t about tactics.
It isn’t about minutes.
It isn’t about wages.

It’s deeply personal.

A RIFT THAT NEVER CLOSED

Those close to the situation describe a bond that fractured and was never repaired.

During a difficult period in his career — mentally, physically, emotionally — the player felt abandoned. More than that, he felt cast aside.

“When I needed support the most,” he explained,
“he was the first person to walk away.”

From that moment, everything shifted.

Training grew uncomfortable.
Dialogue vanished.
Trust evaporated.

“And once trust is broken,” he said,
“you can’t act like nothing happened.”

“I’LL ONLY RETURN IF HE’S GONE”

Then came the line that has now stunned Old Trafford.

“The only way I come back is if he leaves.”

No rage.
No emotion.
Just finality.

Sources say Carrick was taken aback — not by hostility, but by how unwavering the stance was.

This wasn’t leverage.
It wasn’t a tactic.
