What happened. Manchester United have added Marcus Rashford and Tynan Thompson to their attack, potentially threatening Matheus Cunha's place.
- Cunha lacks outright pace, a weakness United had last season.
- Rashford returns after failing to secure a permanent Barcelona move.
- Teenager Thompson brings blistering speed to the frontline.
Carrick now has two faster options to stretch defences and launch counters.
