Carrick confirms Manchester United's financial limits on signings
Summary

Michael Carrick has stated that Manchester United will not pursue a £100m signing due to financial constraints. With Marcus Rashford returning from his loan at Barcelona, Carrick maintained that Rashford remains a key player despite speculation about his departure. United has spent £85m this transfer window on new players, including Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos, but has yet to make a £100m single transfer in its history. The current financial strategy appears focused on sustainable investments rather than high-profile signings.
