Manchester United is pursuing Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney, as the club's summer rebuild progresses. Hackney, 23, has one year remaining on his contract following Middlesbrough's playoff defeat to Hull City. With interest from clubs like Crystal Palace, Tottenham, and Everton, Carrick's familiarity with Hackney could also play a crucial role in this potential transfer.
