The result also cemented Michael Carrick's path to the permanent manager's role, with the club expected to confirm a two-year deal with an option for a further extension in the coming days. As Carrick addressed the media post-match, he smiled when asked about his future, stating clarity would come \"in the next few days,\" but the alignment between Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the United hierarchy, and Carrick's camp is clear.\n\nCarrick acknowledged the achievement of a top-three finish in a 40-game season without European competition, especially after inheriting a side that had crashed out of both domestic cups early. However, he was quick to temper expectations, emphasizing that the real work begins now. \"There is understanding the position we want to get to from where we’ve been and understanding what steps that takes,\" he said. \"The closer you get to the top of the league, the harder it gets. You’ve got to make big steps, but it’s harder to make those big steps.\"\n\nTo bridge that gap, Carrick knows the squad requires significant strengthening. Central midfield is the priority, with at least two, and possibly three, new faces needed. Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson is top of the list after another dominant display against United, providing the assist for Morato's equalizer and rampaging through midfield. Forest boss Vitor Pereira lauded Anderson's talent, saying \"he has the talent to be one of the top of the top\" and predicting he will \"fly with big wings.\" United's interest is serious, and they will face competition to secure the 23-year-old.\n\nBeyond Anderson, United's scouting network has identified a range of midfield options. Brighton's Carlos Baleba remains a target, with his price likely lower than the £100m touted last summer. Atalanta's Ederson, Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton, Bournemouth duo Tyler Adams and Alex Scott, West Ham's Mateus Fernandes, and Real Madrid's Aurélien Tchouameni have all been linked. The breadth of the list underscores the urgency to revamp an engine room that has often lacked control and creativity.\n\nDefensive reinforcements are also on the agenda. United need a left-sided defender to provide cover and competition for Luke Shaw, with summer signing Patrick Dorgu viewed more as an attacking wing-back than a traditional defender. Additional cover in goal and up front may be sought, with Senne Lammens and Benjamin Sesko having impressed this season but requiring support for a campaign that will include Champions League football.\n\nAs new faces arrive, a clearout is inevitable. Carrick confirmed that Tyrell Malacia and Casemiro will depart this summer, while Jadon Sancho and Rasmus Højlund will complete permanent moves to Napoli after the Italian side secured Champions League qualification. The futures of Andre Onana and Marcus Rashford hang in the balance due to their wage demands, and few fans would lament the exits of Joshua Zirkzee or Manuel Ugarte, who have struggled for impact. Mason Mount has indicated a desire to stay, but interest elsewhere may test that resolve, while backup goalkeeper Altay Bayindir is expected to be allowed to leave after a January move to Turkey was blocked.\n\nAmid the turnover, Carrick is committed to giving youth a chance. Before the Forest game, Tyler Fletcher and JJ Gabriel received the Under-21 and Under-18 player of the year awards, and they will be among a clutch of academy prospects involved in pre-season. Jack Fletcher, Shea Lacey, Jacob Devaney, and Under-18 skipper Dan Armer impressed coaches this season, while midfielder Jim Thwaites earned a first-team bench spot. The summer tour, starting against Wrexham in Helsinki before the World Cup final, will be a testing ground for these talents.\n\nCarrick's coaching staff will also take shape. Steve Holland, Jonathan Woodgate, and Jonny Evans are set to continue, but the role of Travis Binnion—currently head of player development and a key attacking coach—may need to be streamlined given the increased fixture load. Aaron Danks, Carrick’s former Middlesbrough colleague now at Bayern Munich, has been linked with a return to United, adding further tactical nous to the backroom team.\n\nThe scale of the task facing Carrick is immense. Returning to the Champions League is a milestone, but as he himself noted, the step from third to title contender is the hardest in English football. With a supportive ownership group, a revamped recruitment strategy, and a clear vision, United are finally building from a position of stability. The next few months will determine whether they can translate that into a genuine challenge for major honors.\n\nBased on reporting from BBC Sport.","news","Michael Carrick's Man Utd deal imminent after third place, with midfield targets Anderson and Baleba leading summer rebuild and squad clearout.","326257545712766976","Manchester United","331526564229419009","326135625054949376","Premier League","327054566501650432","Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest","2026-05-17T17:41:10Z","man-utd-secure-third-carrick-s-2-year-deal-summer-targets","BBC Sport","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bbc.com\u002Fsport\u002Ffootball\u002Farticles\u002Fcz62nyq3xdpo?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss",[50,45,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71],"326255037950988288","326257808251031552","326257545792458752","326257565535047680","326257660011745280","326257539614248960","326257546291580928","326257546153168896","326257539425505280","326257811245764608",[51,46,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82],"Crystal Palace","Middlesbrough","Bournemouth","Real Madrid","ST Mirren","Atalanta","Brighton","West Ham","Napoli","Wrexham","Man Utd Secure Third: Carrick's 2-Year Deal & Summer Targets",[85,114,131,154],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":48,"excerpt":86,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":87,"leagueId":53,"leagueName":54,"matchId":88,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":89,"slug":90,"sourceName":91,"sourceURL":92,"teamId":93,"teamName":94,"teamIds":95,"teamNames":104,"title":113},"After 14 seasons, Russell Wilson retires from the NFL to join CBS Sports as an analyst.
