Berrada confirmed the club intends to replicate last summer's successful recruitment template, aiming for a mix of experienced and youth players, including those proven in the Premier League and high performers from other leagues. An initial £35 million fee is reportedly agreed with Atalanta for Brazilian midfielder Ederson, with further additions expected as part of the club's strategic transfer approach. Michael Carrick has been permanently appointed as head coach, following his impressive interim tenure which saw the team secure a third-place Premier League finish and Champions League qualification, with Berrada praising his calm yet driven leadership. Veteran goalkeeper Tom Heaton, a product of United’s youth academy, has signed a new one-year contract, expressing his determination to contribute to the club's pursuit of success.
