Interim manager Michael Carrick has no plans to recall Rashford from his season-long loan at Barcelona, even after the 28-year-old's 10 goals in 34 appearances and recent starts in La Liga.

Barcelona holds a £26 million buy option tied to their March 15 presidential election, while Rashford—contracted at United until 2028—reportedly sees a Premier League return as a step backward, per unconfirmed sources.

Key Takeaway

Marcus Rashford has found his scoring touch at Barcelona, but back at Old Trafford, no one is dialing his number for a return.

Veteran journalist Shahid Hashmi speculated in a PakPassion interview that Babar Azam's recent loose shots in T20 cricket might tie to unconfirmed family issues, like pressure from his parents to marry a cousin while he prefers someone else. Fans quickly criticized the comments as an invasion of privacy and poor journalism, with some mocking it as yet another excuse for the Pakistan star's slower strike rates. Despite the noise, Babar remains in Pakistan's preliminary T20 World Cup 2026 squad and has shone in the BBL this season, including two recent fifties among top run-scorers. Neither Babar nor the Pakistan Cricket Board has responded.

Key Takeaway

Babar Azam dazzled with an unbeaten 58 in the BBL opener, yet a journalist's speculation about family marriage pressure has drawn sharp backlash.
