Man United are still trying to strengthen further in midfield and also want to bring in a left-back, with Hall said to be Carrick’s first-choice target.

Meanwhile, United’s likely rivals for a top-four finish next season in Chelsea and Tottenham have both spent £100m-plus on a player in the summer window.

Asked if fans could expect to see an £100m signing walk through the door at Carrington before the transfer Deadline Day, Carrick replied: "Well that's what we're trying to do.

“A little bit depends on what position that is and what you’ve got and the dynamics you need at certain points. Sometimes you do need that if it’s the right player.

|Again, it’s not purely on money. Obviously over time we need to be pushing to look to enhance the squad. So, yeah, 100% we need to do that.

“We’ve done really good business. So we’re delighted with that [but] we want more, we need more, we keep looking for how we can do that, so that never stops.”

Lewis Hall has been linked with a move to Man United

However, the Magpies’ move for Benfica full-back Amar Dedic could be fantastic news for the Red Devils.

While Dedic is predominately a right-back, he can operate on the opposite flank, thus leading to suggestions Newcastle are bracing themselves for a potential Hall exit by lining up a replacement.

Though, as per the Athletic, this move for Dedic is with no senior right-backs available right now as Tino Livramento is unlikely to be fit until the end of the month.
