Carragher claims Rashford should join Everton to boost career | OneFootball

In the Premier League era, Everton have lost some of their best players to Manchester United while only taking some of the Red Devils’ spare parts.

Wayne Rooney, Marouane Fellaini and Romelu Lukaku all left Goodison Park for Old Trafford with the likes of Louis Saha, Phil Neville and Morgan Schneiderlin going the other way.

Really, if we’re honest, it’s unheard of that one of United’s top players would join the Toffees. However, that is what Jamie Carragher believes one star should do to boost his career.

Marcus Rashford should swap the red of United for the blue of Everton according to the former Liverpool defender in order to play more games and keep progressing.

The young forward has started just once this season and is often shunted out wide with Lukaku very much the main striker at the club. Carragher believes Rashford would benefit from a short-term spell away to increase his chances of becoming a top Premier League striker.

“The problem he’s got, and it’s the same for every young striker at big clubs, nothing’s harder than that position,” Carragher said on Sky Sports. “And you look at Lukaku, I don’t see him ever displacing Lukaku while he’s there.

“But remember Lukaku at Chelsea , he had to come away to Everton. Then ended up as the top scorer one season at Everton in the Premier League, then gets his move to Man United.

“And possibly Everton is the sort of club, just below the top six, similar to what Lukaku did [when he moved], when you know you’re going to play every week. You’re going to be that centre-forward.

“You know if you have a couple of games where you don’t score you’re still going to play the next week. I think that’s the problem he has at Man United.

“I think last season, Brighton away, Mourinho had a pop at him and Lukaku went straight back into the team. That’s the problem you’re always going to have.”
