Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick says the club intends to add more players before the summer transfer window closes on September 1.

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has confirmed the club is still pursuing additional signings before the summer transfer window closes on September 1. While the team has already secured Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans, and Karl Darlow, Carrick emphasized that the club remains focused on further strengthening the squad. United has prioritized midfield reinforcements and defensive depth throughout the current window.

Recent Transfers and Squad Additions

Manchester United has spent £85m on Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, while also signing goalkeeper Karl Darlow on a free transfer from Leeds. Additionally, Tynan Thompson, Kit Margetson, and Cristian Orozco have joined the club, though they are not expected to immediately join the first-team squad. Carrick expressed satisfaction with the current acquisitions, noting they have improved the team's balance and quality.

Marcus Rashford's Return

Marcus Rashford has rejoined the squad for pre-season after returning from a loan spell at Barcelona, which opted not to trigger a £26m buy option. Carrick stated that Rashford is in good form and provides specific attributes the current squad lacks. Rashford may feature in an upcoming friendly against AC Milan, his first appearance for the club since December 2024.

Ongoing Transfer Targets

The club is currently in the market for a left-back and potentially a third central midfielder. United has explored a deal for Newcastle's Lewis Hall and considered Fulham's Antonee Robinson. The club also holds a long-term interest in Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly, who could address needs in both midfield and defense. Meanwhile, Harry Amass is expected to leave the club before the window closes.
