AI summary
Manchester United have submitted a 23-man Premier League squad for the season, leaving two slots available for potential additions before the winter transfer window opens. While the summer market has closed, Premier League rules allow clubs to sign free agents with the board's written permission, provided the player was unattached when the window shut.
Carrick has already brought in Youri Tielemans, Andrey Santos (£48m from Chelsea), Carlos Baleba and goalkeeper Karl Darlow, but acknowledged in early September that the transfer window had been challenging. High-profile free agents including Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia, both former United players, remain available.
