Ferguson Urges Carrick: Don’t Base United Signings on World Cup Form
Sir Alex Ferguson has warned Michael Carrick against making Manchester United signings purely on the basis of impressive World Cup performances. Recalling his own transfer missteps after Euro 1996 with Jordi Cruyff and Karel Poborsky, Ferguson stressed that tournament form can be misleading and might not translate into long–term value at club level. With Rasmus Hojlund reportedly heading to Napoli, United are preparing a squad rebuild. Despite links to World Cup standouts like Mexico’s Gilberto Mora and Morocco’s Ayyoub Bouaddi, Ferguson advises caution in Carrick’s summer transfer plans.
