Carrick&#8217;s efforts at the Theater of Dreams have been rewarded with a two-year deal, but it will be important that he continues to build on his impressive form if he is to return to the club&#8217;s glory days.<\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt that the bosses will be keeping a close eye on potential reinforcements this summer, with the squad needing to strengthen in a number of key areas to give Carrick any chance of success in a permanent role.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pound-40m-superstar-now-wants-to-join-man-utd-this-summer\"><span

players who could join Man United in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>It is reported that personal terms have already been agreed with the Brazilian, but a transfer fee still needs to be agreed between the two clubs before the transfer can be completed.<\/p>\n<p>    The 26-year-old&#8217;s signature is tipped for a fee in the region of \u00a335m, but the asking price is not an issue and there is a good chance that a deal could be completed within the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The attacking department is another area that could be strengthened during the off-season, with AC Milan winger Rafael Leao emerging as a transfer target.<\/p>\n<p>According to Football Italia, the Portugal international is keen to join Carrick&#8217;s side this summer and is expected to leave Serie A.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Fabrizio Romano also admitted that the player himself wants to leave Milan in the next period, with Fenerbahce and Galatasaray also remaining.<\/p>\n<p>The 26-year-old, who finished the 2025\/26 season with 13 goals and assists in all competitions, is being mooted for a transfer fee of nearly \u00a340 million.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2

Fernandes in recent months, United would not have enjoyed the success this season under Carrick.<\/p>\n<p>    The Portuguese international enjoyed arguably the best season of his career, going on to provide 21 assists in the Premier League, the most by a player since the Premier League was founded in 1992.<\/p>\n<p>His five assists in his last seven games for the Red Devils has enabled the 31-year-old to achieve such a feat while maintaining his role as an influential figure at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\"

Carrick&#8217;s plans for the 2026-27 season, and he will be hoping the attacking midfielder can repeat that feat next season.<\/p>\n<p>Leo&#8217;s move could give him the opportunity to increase his assist numbers from this season, as it could further strengthen the bond the pair have built on the international stage.<\/p>\n<p>    The 26-year-old has proven himself to be a top-level player within the final third over the past few seasons, as he has scored in double figures in each of the last five seasons.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no denying that Bruno could break his own record-breaking assist tally if he replicates those numbers when he moves to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>The AC Milan star has also attracted attention for his incredible ball-carrying ability this term, going on to record 1.3 successful dribbles per 90 in Serie A.<\/p>\n<p>Said figure is higher than 91% of other attackers in Italy&#8217;s top flight, and Leo has the chance to return the favor to his compatriot in the attacking area.<\/p>\n<p>His record of creating 0.5 big chances per 90 this season proves his own creativity in the final third, which could also take some of the weight off Fernandes&#8217; shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>In today&#8217;s market, \u00a340 million is a bargain for a player of Leo&#8217;s quality, and it&#8217;s great business and could enable United to reach the next level.<\/p>\n<p>    His success at the top level has been proven over the years and his direct nature allows him to add a new level of depth to the club&#8217;s already excellent attacking department.<\/p>\n<p>The partnership between the forward and Bruno could also be a big factor in success, as the pair have the chance to write their name in the club&#8217;s history for the 2026\/27 season and beyond forever.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                              \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\"
