Manchester United outlines summer transfer plans under Carrick

Manchester United, now led permanently by former midfielder Michael Carrick, are shaping their summer recruitment agenda with input from Carrick, CEO Omar Berrada, director of football Jason Wilcox and recruitment chief Christopher Vivell. The club targets up to five new signings, prioritising central midfield and has already agreed a £35 million deal for Atalanta midfielder Ederson. Other potential arrivals mentioned include Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha, West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes, a left‑sided player or winger, and a striker, while departures being considered involve Manuel Ugarte and possibly a goalkeeper. United’s recruitment strategy blends Premier League‑proven talent with international prospects, with data analysts and scouting staff guiding decisions. Interest from rival clubs such as Newcastle United has been noted, but United’s Champions League qualification makes their offer more attractive to targets.
