Manchester United’s midfield rebuild may not be finished, despite major changes in that area this summer.
Michael Carrick now has greater technical quality and depth, but United are still exploring whether an elite ball-carrying midfielder can be added before the window closes.

The latest name under discussion would bring Champions League experience, athleticism and the versatility to operate as a No.6 or No.8.
However, the biggest obstacle is not simply Real Madrid’s negotiating position. The player appears determined to remain at the Bernabéu and fight for an important role.
Man United ready to make ambitious move for midfielder
According to Fabrizio Romano, Man United have discussed a potential approach for Eduardo Camavinga during internal recruitment meetings.
The France international is one of several midfield profiles being assessed, but his current preference is to stay at Real Madrid rather than pursue a Premier League transfer.
United’s interest fits their wider recruitment plan. The Guardian reported that the club have already invested £82m in Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans but are still considering another midfield addition.
Camavinga, Roma’s Manu Koné and Bournemouth’s Alex Scott were named among the options, although fees in the £60m-£80m range could make another major deal difficult.
Camavinga would offer something different from United’s recent arrivals.
His ability to recover possession, escape pressure and carry the ball through midfield could give Carrick greater control in intense matches.
