Man Utd made midfield recruitment summer priority - what happens now?
Michael Carrick says Manchester United have balance in their midfield following a £150m summer recruitment campaign - so who plays?
Manchester United's midfield recruitment has been a priority this summer, with Michael Carrick praising Kobbie Mainoo after his impressive performance against Ipswich. However, former United goalkeeper Ben Foster believes Mainoo is not quite ready for regular first-team football. United spent over £150m on three international midfielders this summer, but rotation in the midfield will be inevitable due to the new-look lineup.
The summer signings include Brazilian Andrey Santos for £48m and Belgium's Youri Tielemans for £35m. Both players have different attributes that will contribute to the midfield, but they cannot all play at the same time. Carrick emphasizes the need for a balanced squad that can adapt to injuries, suspensions, and other unforeseen circumstances throughout the season.
