United has already spent £83m on Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, but Carrick acknowledges the team needs more signings to address weaknesses at left-back and central midfield. He emphasizes that more transfers are necessary despite the club's recent mistakes and spending less than promoted rivals.
