Manchester United being linked with transfers shows no signs of slowing down despite the uncertainty surrounding their head coaching position. While Michael Carrick will lead the club until the end of the season on an interim basis, a decision on who will be in the dugout come the summer won't be rushed.
That hasn't stopped reports of who the Red Devils may target at the end of the season to bolster a squad that has been in fine form under the former England midfielder. Improvements in the engine room are expected to be made, with the likes of Adam Wharton, Elliot Anderson and Sandro Tonali said to be on their wish-list.
Kai Rooney signs contract
Already following in the footsteps of his father Wayne by playing for United, Kai has taken it one step further by joining Triple S Sports Management - the same agency that represented Wayne, 40.
Run by the United icon's long-time agent Paul Stretford, the global company yet again has a Rooney on its books as they took to Instagram to announce the 16-year-old's arrival. The post read: "Delighted to announce the signing of @kairooney.10 to Triple S Sports!
"We're excited to begin working with the Manchester United forward as he continues his journey in the game. A bright future ahead." The former England striker has previously opened up on his son's journey in football and insisted he takes a back seat in one regard.
Speaking via the BBC last year, Wayne said: "He has great coaches at Manchester United, so I take a stand off approach. I speak to him, but for me it's all about his mentality and his mindset, to make sure he keeps enjoying it – that's the main thing for me."
Man Utd transfer plea
Attack has been a cause for concern for a number of years at Old Trafford, although the recent form of Benjamin Sesko may have lessened those fears. However, the Slovenian's potent run in front of goal this year hasn't stopped Patrice Evra from campaigning for the transfer of Real Madrid star Endrick.

The Brazilian struggled for playing time in Spain in the first half of the season and was sent out on loan to Lyon in the winter and has blossomed in Ligue 1. With five goals and four assists in 10 games across all competitions, the 19-year-old has found his best form since moving to Europe in 2024.
The former United star told Stake: "If I could sign one striker for Man Utd I would choose Endrick - he would be a great signing. I've always loved watching Endrick, even when he was in Brazil.
"It was quite sad what happened at Real Madrid. He's killing it at Lyon. Lyon have a great history with bringing in Brazilian players and making them bounce back in their careers, like Juninho."
