Man Utd news: Double transfer eyed as concerns emerge over Michael Carrick star
Manchester United find themselves on an unusual break in the season following their premature FA Cup exit. Over a week has elapsed since their draw at West Ham and they will not be back in competitive action until Monday's trip to Everton. Understandably, therefore, much of the discussion surrounding the club has centred on the summer months ahead.
A verdict will be required on Michael Carrick's managerial position, with performances across the final dozen matches of the campaign expected to play a part, whilst transfer activity will occur irrespective of who occupies the technical area. Casemiro's departure has been officially announced, with the Brazilian international determined to finish strongly before his summer exit.
Greater uncertainty surrounds Marcus Rashford, although the temporary recruit appears more likely than not to secure a permanent switch to Barcelona. Here, Express Sport
