Michael Carrick has urged Manchester United to strengthen further after spending about £85 million this summer. The club's outlay lags behind rivals Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea. Carrick, who led United to third place last season after replacing Ruben Amorim, said the team needs more quality and depth to challenge for a first Premier League title since 2013 and compete in the Champions League. Marcus Rashford has returned from a Barcelona loan, and Carrick described his presence as "exciting." He would not rule out a title push, saying the club has the potential to achieve something special.
