The Story in Brief
Michael Carrick has urged Manchester United to make more signings to keep up with Premier League title rivals. United spent around £85 million on Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans and Karl Darlow this summer, far less than Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea. Carrick led United to a third-place finish last season after replacing Ruben Amorim.
Some fans are restless ahead of the Premier League opener at Hull on August 22. Carrick said the club must push every boundary to win again, but admitted he has no answers for why spending lags behind rivals. Marcus Rashford has returned from a loan at Barcelona, adding depth to the squad.
The Indian Opinion
Fans grumble that United's purse strings are too tight, while others argue big spending doesn't guarantee trophies. Both sides have a point: Chelsea's cheque book hasn't bought consistency. The real test is whether Carrick's blend of new signings and returnees like Rashford can click against Hull on day one, not the transfer tally.
