Manchester United must focus on smarter recruitment after wasting over £600million under Erik ten Hag.
The club’s spending spree brought minimal success, leaving fans frustrated with poor squad building.
Supporters are yearning for astute signings to fix glaring gaps in the squad without breaking the bank.
One potential option lies with Alvaro Fernandez Carreras, who left United for Benfica just a year ago.
The 21-year-old left-back has impressed since his move, earning attention from Europe’s elite clubs.
Carreras has a €50million release clause but United hold a €20million buyback option available in summer windows.

Carreras starred in Benfica’s 5-4 loss to Hansi Flick’s side in the Champions League.
According to A Bola, Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid have shown interest but may struggle to meet the €50million fee.
Benfica remain calm about losing Carreras to La Liga sides in January but are wary of United’s clause.
The defender, his family, and agent are awaiting clarity from United about their intentions for summer.
Carreras reportedly wants to understand Ruben Amorim’s stance before making decisions on his future.

If United see Carreras as a priority, they might consider offering €25million for a January return to Old Trafford.
This would give Benfica a premium while securing a much-needed addition for United’s left-back options.
For United, bringing Carreras back could address defensive issues and please fans craving better planning.
If they delay action, they risk Carreras being snapped up by another club in the coming transfer windows.
With the summer buyback clause in their hands, United hold the key to shaping Carreras’ next move.
Interesting to see what lies ahead.
