“I have never truly been happy since the day I was sold to Napoli… and it was all because of him. But now that Michael Carrick has confirmed he no longer needs him, I’m ready to return to Manchester United immediately after the World Cup. Manchester United has always felt like home, and I still have unfinished business at Old Trafford. However, I will only come back once he has left the club for good.

A former Manchester United player currently plying his trade with Napoli has reportedly hinted that a return to Old Trafford could remain a possibility in the future, sparking fresh discussion among supporters.

Recent reports claim the ex-United star has reflected on his departure from the club and feels his journey away from Manchester did not bring the fulfilment he had hoped for. According to the speculation, he still believes there is unfinished business at the Theatre of Dreams and would be interested in wearing the famous red shirt again after the World Cup.

What has generated the biggest reaction, however, is the reported condition attached to any potential comeback. The rumours suggest the player would only entertain the idea of returning if a particular individual is no longer part of the club’s plans.

A reported quote attributed to the player states: “Manchester United has always felt like home, but I would only return once he is gone.”

While there has been no official confirmation from either side, the story has quickly gained attention online. The prospect of a former fan favourite making a surprise return has already divided opinion among the United faithful, with some welcoming the idea and others questioning whether revisiting the past would be the right move for the club.
