As the Premier League season concludes, Manchester United's focus shifts to a busy summer ahead and Michael Carrick's first full season as manager. United secured third place and Champions League football before their final match at Brighton on Sunday.
Carrick's Permanent Appointment
Carrick's permanent two-year deal was confirmed 48 hours before the Brighton game. He aims to cap the occasion with a victory on the south coast. Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes needs just one assist to break the Premier League's all-time record.
Atalanta Admission on Ederson
Atalanta midfielder Ederson is close to becoming Carrick's first signing. United have offered £34.5 million plus £4.3 million in add-ons for the Brazilian. Atalanta manager Raffaele Palladino acknowledged the impending transfer, stating, "Ederson out? It was a decision we agreed with the boy because there's something going on in the transfer market. The fact that such a player is being followed by such a big club should be a source of pride."
Sonny Aljofree Departs
Defender Sonny Aljofree has bid an emotional farewell after 14 years at United. The 21-year-old, who spent time on loan at Notts County, did not make a first-team appearance. In an Instagram post, he wrote: "After 14 years at this amazing football club, my second home, and the place I've grown from a boy to man. I can't thank the staff, players and everybody who has helped me enough. I've made brothers for life and I will always appreciate what this club have given me. Once a red, always a red."
United's new 2026/27 home kit, inspired by club heritage with a classic polo collar, is now available for purchase.
