Manchester United will be hoping for a productive summer for Michael Carrick as he aims to build a team in his image.

Express Sport brings you the latest headlines from Old Trafford…
Alex Scott transfer confirmed
According to The Sun, the Old Trafford powers are not actively pursuing the 22-year-old, who has attracted more concrete interest from Arsenal.
The newly crowned Premier League champions have already inquired about the possibility of signing Scott, but this was quickly rejected by Bournemouth, who do not want to lose him this summer.
According to The Athletic, Spurs made a maximum offer in negotiations with West Ham, but the Red Devils did not want a deal that matched the player’s valuation.
United are now preparing to shift their focus to other targets, but it remains to be seen whether they will revise their stance on the Scot after missing out on Fernandes.
Amorim hopes to see Martinez again.
It is claimed that the former United manager wants to sign a left-footed central defender and has named Martinez as the ideal candidate.
The 28-year-old has just one year left on his current contract, but United have the option to extend it by a further 12 months.
