Manchester United reject inquiries for Harry Maguire from Italy
Manchester United has declined offers from AC Milan and other Premier League teams for Harry Maguire.
According to The Sun, Carrick sees the defender as a key player and has decided against any transfers this window.
At 32, Maguire has become a regular starter this season, with Carrick valuing his experience and leadership.
AC Milan considered a possible loan, but United insists that their club captain will remain at Old Trafford until at least the summer.
Ruben Neves linked with a summer move to Manchester United
Reports suggest that Manchester United is preparing a £20 million bid for Al Hilal midfielder Ruben Neves, who is interested in returning to the Premier League.
As noted by Football Insider, the Portugal international is high on United’s summer target list as Carrick looks to boost creativity in midfield.
Neves, 28, moved to Saudi Arabia from Wolves last year but is said to be keen on a return to England. His agent, Jorge Mendes, has already had preliminary discussions with United representatives.
Although Al Hilal prefers to keep him during the season, talks may resume as the summer transfer window approaches.
Manchester United offered Ruben Loftus-Cheek
Manchester United has been given the opportunity to sign AC Milan midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, according to TEAMtalk.
Milan is open to a loan with an option to buy, as the 29-year-old has struggled to secure regular playing time this season.
He has started just eight Serie A matches under Massimiliano Allegri. United might find his Premier League experience attractive, though no formal offer has been made, as the club focuses on long-term midfield solutions.
