Carrick Rangers' connection to Manchester United's transfer plans has been revealed, with the club aiming to bring in two more players before the transfer window closes. According to reports, United's top priority for the left flank is Lewis Hall, but Newcastle are refusing to let their defender go. As an alternative, Myles Lewis-Skelly was considered, but Arsenal's asking price for the 19-year-old talent proved excessive. For the holding midfield role, the Red Devils are monitoring Aurélien Tchouaméni from Real Madrid and Carlos Baleba from Brighton. These deals are set to be expensive, with Newcastle valuing Hall at £60 million and Brighton's price tag for Baleba being €55 million according to Transfermarkt. Meanwhile, the Cameroonian himself has long dreamed of Old Trafford and is pushing hard for the transfer, though a recent ligament injury adds extra risk. With the window closing on September 1, time is running out fast. League standing: 5th in Premiership, 3 pts, 1W-0D-0L from 1 games, recent form W. Goals this season: 1 scored, 0 conceded (+1 goal difference). Next fixture: vs Portadown (away, 2026-12-19) (9th in the table).
