Manchester United boss Michael Carrick is determined to keep pushing to improve his squad this summer, despite already spending £83m on Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans and Karl Darlow. With weaknesses at left-back and central midfield ahead of a Champions League return, Carrick said: "We want more, we need more." He acknowledged missing out on targets because United refused to match rival offers.

Carrick addressed Marcus Rashford’s future, repeating "he's our player" as the forward returns after loan spells. Meanwhile, Kobbie Mainoo also returned after being overlooked for England's World Cup squad. Carrick, who experienced similar omission, spoke to Mainoo through the tournament.

Carrick, enjoying a rare summer without draining tours, feels privileged to lead United. "I love the position I'm in," he said. He is focused on pushing boundaries to win again.
