A wave of changes is predicted to take place at Manchester United this summer, as the future of coach Michael Carrick faces many questions. After the team showed signs of revival under Carrick, attention is now shifting to the transfer plan at Old Trafford.
Casemiro is considered one of the names that will definitely leave when his contract expires at the end of June. Meanwhile, the future of captain Bruno Fernandes is still unclear, although he has just had an impressive season and is highly appreciated in the personal title race.
Marcus Rashford's case also attracts great attention, especially the possibility of him permanently moving to Barcelona. This will be a hot topic in the coming weeks.
One of Man United's priorities is to strengthen the midfield. Competing with Manchester City to win Elliot Anderson's signature from Nottingham Forest is considered a noteworthy target. However, many sources say that this player leans more towards joining Etihad, despite Carrick's efforts to improve the team.
In the ideal scenario, the "Red Devils" still want to recruit Anderson, even if the price can reach 100 million pounds and account for the majority of the transfer budget.
In the opposite direction, Manuel Ugarte and Joshua Zirkzee may leave to bring in financial resources to serve the team's rebuilding. If successful, this will be an important stepping stone for the "Red Devils" to make more big deals.
With the attack, the possibility of Rashford leaving the team is considered suitable for all parties, although not easily accepted emotionally. However, Carrick still leaves open the possibility of keeping this player if the situation changes.
In case Rashford leaves, Man United needs to add a reasonable replacement. One name mentioned is Yan Diomande of RB Leipzig - a young player with great potential, who can create competition on the wing flank.
Diomande just joined the Bundesliga not long ago but has made a strong impression, making the value on the transfer market increase significantly. However, this deal will not be easy when he still has a long-term contract and receives attention from many big clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain.
In midfield, Angelo Stiller of Stuttgart emerges as a viable option. This midfielder can replace Casemiro's role, helping Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes play more freely in Carrick's tactical system.
Stiller, who grew up from Bayern Munich academy, is in stable form and has made a great contribution to Stuttgart's achievements. The transfer fee for the 25-year-old player is considered reasonable, ranging from more than 30 to more than 40 million pounds depending on the terms.
With impressive ball distribution and steady contributions to the playing style, Stiller is considered a suitable piece for Man United's rebuilding plan.
In the context of many fluctuations, the upcoming summer transfer window promises to be decisive for the future of the "Red Devils" - both on the coaching bench and in the squad structure.
