Why Carrick’s Next 30 Days Could Shape Manchester United’s Season

Manchester United’s next 30 days could decide their entire season as Michael Carrick rebuilds the midfield, integrates his returning World Cup players and prepares his squad for the new campaign. In this video, we analyse what Manchester United’s defeat to Wrexham revealed about the return of Carrick-ball and the 4-2-3-1 system Michael Carrick used successfully last season. We also examine when Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo, Youri Tielemans and the other missing players could return to pre-season training. The biggest question surrounds Manchester United’s new midfield. How can Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans, Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes fit together? Does Carrick already have the balance he needs, or must United complete another midfield signing before the season begins? We also assess the academy players fighting for a place in Carrick’s first-team squad, including Harry Amass, Jaydan Kamason, Jacob Devaney and Ethan Wheatley. With five important pre-season friendlies remaining against Rosenborg, Atlético Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Leeds United and AC Milan, every match should reveal something new about Carrick’s plans, Manchester United’s strongest midfield and the team he could trust on the opening day of the season. Could the next 30 days finally prove that Manchester United have fixed their midfield after years of getting it wrong? Let us know in the comments: What is the one decision Michael Carrick must get right before the season begins—and which three midfielders would you start?
