Michael Carrick's first full Premier League season in charge of Manchester United will soon get underway
Michael Carrick has welcomed three new senior players to Manchester United so far this summer. But with pre-season now in full flow, there could also be a handful of exits.
Champions League football will return to Old Trafford in the upcoming season after newly installed permanent boss Carrick turned the previous campaign from a disaster to a success.
He has been backed in the transfer window to the tune of three new senior arrivals: Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans and Karl Darlow. Youngsters Tynan Thompson and Kit Margetson have also joined.
But one player whose future remains undetermined is Marcus Rashford. After spending last season on loan at Barcelona, the 28-year-old is stuck in limbo and a swap deal involving him has been mooted. Mirror Football takes a look at all the latest transfer speculation surrounding United.

Marcus Rashford swap deal
Despite impressing on loan in Catalonia last season, Barcelona did not exercise the £26m purchase option included in Rashford's deal and he therefore remains a United player.
A route back to the Camp Nou has been sealed off with Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi signed and so it is currently unknown whether Rashford will return to fight for a place at Old Trafford or leave for pastures new.
Reports suggest neither side would ideally like Rashford to stay and Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport states the Englishman could help get a deal for United target Manu Kone over the line.
Kone, who currently plays for Roma, impressed at the World Cup for France and is reportedly available for £51m this summer. To help finance the move and offset his wage demands, it has been claimed that Rashford might head in the opposite direction.
Roma reportedly need a left-sided forward but are constrained by Financial Fair Play regulations. Rashford, whose £350,000-per-week wages have proved difficult to shift, could therefore be the makeweight in a deal for midfielder Kone.
Michael Carrick axes four players
Elsewhere, four of Rashford's team-mates appear set for the axe. The Daily Mail reports that goalkeeper Radek Vitek, defender Harry Amass and midfielders Dan Gore and Toby Collyer are all set to leave this summer.
Young goalkeeper Vitek, as well as Amass, may initially be sent out on loan with an option to buy included. Vitek has become a target for multiple Championship teams and Amass is valued at about £6million.
Collyer spent last season on loan with Hull City and the newly promoted Tigers are reportedly interested in signing him permanently. Gore is on the chopping block following a loan with Rotherham United.
