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. The club is reportedly waiting for opportunistic deals rather than actively pursuing specific players, particularly in midfield and left-back positions, as the season approaches.
