Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has made clear that strengthening the squad remains a priority as he prepares for his first full Premier League campaign at the helm of Old Trafford.

Carrick expressed confidence that the group of players at his disposal are moving in the right direction, while signalling that further additions to the squad are firmly on his agenda this summer.

The United boss takes charge of a full league season for the first time after stepping into a demanding role at one of English football's most scrutinised clubs.
