Man United latest: Michael Carrick receives transfer boost as boss sends clear message
Manchester United boos Michael Carrick has outlined his plans for the transfer window as the club are linked with PSG's Ibrahim Mbaye
Manchester United face a potentially hectic end to the transfer window as Michael Carrick seeks to bolster his squad. The United manager is aware of the challenges lying ahead for his side as the team prepare for their Champions League comeback next season.
United have not completed any significant signings since bringing in Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans as part of their midfield reconstruction a month ago. Carrick guided United to a third-place finish in the table last term but recognises the need for squad depth as the club aim to compete across multiple competitions.
Despite the wait for new recruits, Carrick has issued a definitive message about transfers. The manager has stressed the importance of adding more players as he attempts to help the club fulfil their ambitions.
United have been linked with a potential swoop for Paris Saint-Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye. The Reds are claimed to be among several clubs monitoring the 18-year-old.
Michael Carrick issues transfer statement
United manager Carrick has made clear that the club want to continue their squad rebuild during the transfer window. The club have recruited Santos, Tielemans and experienced goalkeeper Karl Darlow, alongside several young prospects, but the manager has maintained that other new arrivals are required to help the team compete for major honours.
"We want more, we need more, we keep looking for how we can do that," he said. "Money's money, I get that.
"We feel like we have to be pushing for everything we're involved in, while being realistic of what the recent history's looked like over a period of time.
"For now, we've got to make the most of it, but we've got to push every boundary we can to be able to win again, basically. That's the challenge."

Ibrahim Mbaye boost emerges
United have received an encouraging boost in their pursuit of Mbaye, with Liverpool reportedly deciding to withdraw their interest in the PSG winger. The Merseyside outfit are targeting wide players following Mohamed Salah's departure from Anfield and are pursuing a move for Mbaye's teammate Bradley Barcola.
However, United's rivals have reportedly cooled their interest in a potential deal for Mbaye due to his £42.7m price tag. The teenager faces a battle for first-team opportunities at PSG, given the considerable number of forwards already at the club's disposal.
In a further positive development for United, the French club have agreed to sign Ferran Torres from Barcelona for a similar fee, potentially making a deal for Mbaye more achievable. Spanish publication AS reports that several other clubs, including Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig and Aston Villa, have also registered interest in Mbaye, who netted three goals in 29 appearances last season.
