Manchester United is evaluating its squad ahead of the transfer deadline on September 1. Michael Carrick seeks clarity on new signings and potential departures, following a summer that has seen two midfielders added but limited activity elsewhere. Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans are the major signings, while Casemiro has left on a free transfer. Outgoing transfers might include goalkeepers Altay Bayindir and Radek Vitek.
