Manager Michael Carrick will remain as caretaker manager until the end of the season, but the club are in no rush to make a decision on his permanent appointment in the summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Despite this, the Red Devils are looking to strengthen a squad that has grown under the former England midfielder&#8217;s guidance, with reports continuing to be linked to potential transfer targets after the campaign ends. Midfield reinforcements are expected, with Adam Wharton, Elliott Anderson and Sandro Tonali reportedly on the shortlist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Meanwhile, the club legend has called on the Premier League giants to prioritize attacking reinforcements, while Kai Rooney continues to make further progress in his developing career. Here, Express Sport takes a look at the latest developments to emerge from Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Kai Rooney, who had already emulated his father Wayne as a United international, took things a step further by signing with Triple S Sports Management, the agency that looked after Wayne.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The international company, run by the United legend&#8217;s trusted agent Paul Stretford, is once again welcoming Rooney as a client, announcing the 16-year-old&#8217;s arrival on Instagram.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>A statement read: &#8220;We are delighted to announce the signing of @kairooney.10 with Triple S Sports! We are excited to begin working with the Manchester United forward as he continues his journey through the game. A bright future awaits him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The former England striker has previously spoken about his son&#8217;s football career, insisting he prefers a hands-off approach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Last year, Wayne said in an interview with the BBC: &#8220;He has a great coach at Manchester United so I&#8217;m taking a stand-off approach. I&#8217;ve spoken to him but for me it&#8217;s all about his mentality and mindset and making sure he continues to enjoy himself is the most important thing for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Express sports on FB!

He would be a great signing. I always loved watching Endrick, even when he was in Brazil. What happened at Real Madrid was very sad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s done that at Lyon.
