This week's Man Utd Notebook looks at the club's plans for a defensive overhaul and the managerial candidate fluttering his eyelashes towards Old Trafford.
Manchester United are planning defensive reinforcements for 2027, with Everton center-back Jarrad Branthwaite remaining on their shortlist alongside monitoring of Tottenham's Micky van de Ven. Meanwhile, Antonio Conte's recent comments expressing a desire to restore a historically successful club have sparked discussion regarding potential pressure on United head coach Michael Carrick. Additionally, United are attempting to secure the future of 16-year-old talent JJ Gabriel amid strong interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid.
United made a formal scholarship offer to Gabriel months ago that would lead to a professional contract at age 17, ensuring potential compensation if he departs. On the pitch, Carrick faces a challenging run of fixtures against Atletico Madrid and Leeds United, while also dismissing social media controversy regarding Matheus Cunha, who had returned to training despite an old video showing him in Brazil.
