Manchester United interim head coach Michael Carrick hasn't ruled out potential signings before the transfer deadline. Following a 3-2 victory against Arsenal, Carrick acknowledged that while the club is calm, opportunities could arise. The club's refusal to spend £65m on Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth frustrated former head coach Ruben Amorim.

United has been linked with various players, including Ruben Neves. The team is also dealing with an injury to Patrick Dorgu, which could influence their transfer decisions. Carrick's cautious approach suggests a willingness to adapt if suitable options appear. The situation regarding Bruno Fernandes' future is also a factor, although it will be addressed later in the season.

Joshua Zirkzee's availability is another point of interest as he recovers from injury. Carrick is preparing for the Fulham match, acknowledging their strong form. Fulham's recent performance poses a threat, having taken 17 points from their last eight games. A win for Fulham would bring them close to United in the standings.

Carrick's 17-match stint has begun well. Victories against top teams have propelled United into the top four. However, recent struggles against lower-ranked teams highlight the need for consistency. The upcoming game against Fulham is crucial for maintaining momentum and securing a top-four finish, which is the main goal.
