Michael Carrick Calls for More Manchester United Signings

Carrick said United need more depth after spending about £85 million and as rivals Chelsea, City and Tottenham pushed past £100 million on one player.

  • Manchester United manager Michael Carrick urged the club's hierarchy to "keep pushing for more" new recruits during a 25-minute chat at Carton House training camp this week.
  • While United have spent around £85 million on three signings, they remain the only "big six" club yet to break the £100 million mark on a single player, as rivals Manchester City, Chelsea, and Tottenham have splashed significantly more.
  • Carrick expressed delight with signings Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans, and Karl Darlow, stressing constant communication with director of football Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada about further recruitment needs.
  • With the Premier League opener against Hull on August 22 looming, Carrick insisted he is "not fussed" about increased scrutiny following his two-year contract signed in May.
  • Carrick refused to rule out a title push, saying the team has the potential to achieve something "really special," as United prepare for Champions League return while competing on four fronts.
