On Sky Sports following the friendly between England and Switzerland, Carragher said that Rashford should consider his options and perhaps look at joining a club like Everton to help progress his career.
"I don't see Rashford ever displacing Lukaku so long as he is there," Carragher said on Sky Sports.
"But Lukaku was at Chelsea and he had to come away from there and go to Everton. He ended up top scorer and then got his move to Manchester United. "Everton is a club where someone like a Rashford knows he can play every week. Last season, he played poorly against Brighton, Mourinho had a pop at him and Lukaku went straight back in the next game. That is the problem he will always have."
Carragher made a decent point when he suggested that Rashford should follow Lukaku's career path.
The Belgian striker found it hard to get game time at Chelsea as a young player. He left on loan for West Brom and Everton, eventually signing for the Toffees for £28m in 2014. Three years later, he joined United for £75m and is now the club's first-choice centre-forward.
Carragher said Rashford could take a similar route by dropping down to a team outside the top-six before returning to play for a side in the top four.
"In that position, you have to be world-class. Rashford isn't world-class yet, but he might be when he's 24. Lukaku now looks like one of the best strikers so Rashford may have to move away to then move back to one of the big teams."You can watch Carragher here:
