Carrick Content with Squad Selection

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has expressed his satisfaction with the summer signings and the squad he will rely on for the coming months. The Red Devils brought in Carlos Baleba, Andrey Santos, and Youri Tielemans, Marcus Rashford returned, and Joshua Zirkzee remained at the club.

“We went into the transfer window with the idea of becoming a stronger group than last season, and we certainly achieved that. We are very pleased with the players we’ve brought in. You can always say there were more things we could have done, but sometimes it’s a matter of opportunity. Overall, I think we are in a good place with the squad. We have excellent dynamics and players who can play in various positions,” Carrick stated.

The specialist also spoke about Zirkzee, who hasn't seen much playing time and was expected to leave: “Zirkzee is important for the squad's depth. He is happy to be here, and I have an excellent relationship with him. He wants to play more, but the competition is healthy. We have many matches ahead, and Josh is capable of great things.”

On Sunday, Manchester United visits Everton, and Carrick is well aware of the challenge awaiting his team: “Every time I’ve visited Everton, it’s always been a tough match. We’ve had good results, some not so good, but it’s always been difficult. David Moyes is a fantastic manager.”
