Michael Carrick pushes for Hayden Hackney as transfer options narrow

Summary

Michael Carrick is urging INEOS to reconsider signing Hayden Hackney amid Manchester United's ongoing midfield search. United reportedly has a deal for Atalanta's Ederson and is also targeting Mateus Fernandes from West Ham, where complications have arisen due to Valencia's interest and high asking prices. Hackney, who has drawn interest from several Premier League clubs including Everton and Crystal Palace, is expected to leave Middlesbrough this summer as he enters the final year of his contract. Middlesbrough has not received formal offers for Hackney yet, leaving the transfer situation open for now.
