Manchester United caretaker Michael Carrick has recommended Morgan Rogers as a summer target to director of football Jason Wilcox. Carrick, a candidate for the permanent manager role, worked with the Aston Villa star during their time at Middlesbrough. A potential reunion could be costly, with Villa holding out for a club-record fee to facilitate an exit as United prepares for another rebuild at Old Trafford.

Newcastle United are prepared to let Sandro Tonali depart this summer for approximately £100 million, with Arsenal, Manchester City, and Manchester United all linked with interest. Meanwhile, United remain "optimistic" about keeping captain Bruno Fernandes amid Saudi Pro League interest, with Champions League football potentially swaying his decision before his contract expires next year.

Real Madrid will trigger a €9 million re-sign clause for Nico Paz this summer, while defender Marcos Senesi nears a decision on his next club from options including Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham. With transfer windows opening soon, clubs face strategic decisions balancing immediate needs with long-term vision, as United works to rebuild its squad while maintaining Champions League qualification.
