Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has hinted that the Red Devils could make a move to sign a new left winger in the summer transfer window.
It could be a busy window for United as they aim to be at full strength during the 2026/2027 season. The Manchester club have endured some difficult years, but they appear to be turning a corner under Carrick.
It remains to be seen whether the former Middlesbrough manager will remain in charge next season, given he has only signed a deal until the summer, but United are expected to move up to the next level regardless.
Signing a midfielder is likely to be one of United’s priorities when the transfer window opens, with Casemiro confirming he will leave at the end of his contract, but we could see the Red Devils strengthen in other areas.
Carrick hints at Man Utd signing
Speaking to the media this week, Carrick has hinted that United could consider signing a left-sided attacker In the summer transfer window. The United boss has reiterated that Amad Diallo and Matheus Cunha are options for that position, but he failed to rule out the possibility of the club strengthening in that area later this year.
“It’s something to look at (signing a left winger). I think Matthias (Cunha) can play in that position. Amad can do that too. We have very good options in the front line.”
It’s interesting to discuss the recruitment for Carrick, despite the fact that he may not be there next season, possibly hinting that he could be in the dugout for longer than his current contract.

Leftist ideology will not be the priority of UTD
Casemiro’s departure in the summer means United’s priority is to sign a new midfielder. Once the Red Devils secure the signature of a Casemiro replacement, we could see them move forward in other areas, but it is imperative that they add at least another body in the middle of the park.
If United want to compete for the Premier League title in the near future, it will be necessary to strengthen several positions.
Things have certainly improved under Carrick, but United have struggled with consistency in recent years and need to ensure they are able to step up to the next level next season.
