Silvestre: Manchester United Should Aim High, But Give Carrick Time
Former Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre has commented on the club's summer transfer activity and prospects for the new season. In an interview with Hupu, Silvestre praised the signings of Andre Santos and Youri Tielemans, stating that Santos brings excellent running ability and stamina, while Tielemans provides experience and leadership to replace the departed Casemiro. Silvestre noted that manager Carrick is building a squad capable of competing on multiple fronts. However, he cautioned against expecting an immediate Premier League title challenge, arguing that a team cannot go from 16th to 3rd and then win the league the next season. He compared the situation to Mikel Arteta's rebuild at Arsenal, urging the club to give Carrick sufficient time to develop a title-winning squad. Silvestre also suggested that if Marcus Rashford stays, the squad is largely sufficient, and pre-season friendlies will provide further clarity.
