Michael Carrick has officially signed a two-year contract with Manchester United after leading the team to a third-place finish and securing Champions League qualification. With plans to rebuild the squad, Carrick is keen on signing Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United, who is reportedly valued at up to €100 million (£86 million). The departure of Casemiro and uncertainty surrounding Manuel Ugarte have left United with only Kobbie Mainoo as a senior midfield option, prompting the need for at least two new signings. In addition to Tonali, United is in discussions to acquire Ederson from Atalanta for £45 million. Carrick's focus on strengthening the squad comes after a disappointing season where United exited early from both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup. He aims to build a better team capable of competing for trophies next season, reflecting on the positive atmosphere among fans and the club's renewed sense of unity. Carrick stated, 'It’s good to make steps... [I want] to make this place better,' highlighting his ambition to reward the supporters.
