Edson's arrival will push one Manchester United player out; two Premier League clubs are interested! The World Cup could help United sell.

Edson has effectively become a Manchester United player, and his arrival will mean that Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte becomes surplus to requirements. Laurie Whitwell of The Athletic noted that the Red Devils view Edson as an upgraded version of Ugarte, not a substitute for Casemiro.

Edson has impressive running ability and can handle defensive tasks. When in possession, he demonstrates skillful technique and intelligence, capable of breaking through packed midfield lines via dribbling or passing. This is precisely the quality that Carrick expects from his two midfielders.

Although it remains uncertain whether Edson will adapt to the Premier League, his all-round abilities make him better equipped than most to do so. In contrast, Ugarte struggled both to win the ball and to control it during his two years in the Premier League.

It has long been considered almost certain that the 25-year-old Ugarte will leave this summer. British media reports reveal that two Premier League clubs have now expressed interest in him: Crystal Palace and Everton. Both teams believe Ugarte can strengthen their midfield and contribute to their development next season.

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has left, and English talent Adam Wharton has long been considered a potential transfer, so they need to rebuild. David Moyes also wants to strengthen Everton's squad and had hoped to bring in Middlesbrough's Hayden Hackney, but negotiations have not gone as smoothly as expected. The Toffees have frequently signed former Manchester United players over the years; current regular James Garner is a product of the Red Devils' academy.

Ugarte previously attracted interest from Turkish Süper Lig and Serie A clubs. Manchester United hopes he will perform outstandingly for Uruguay at the World Cup, thereby attracting buyers and increasing his value. Ten Hag spent €60 million (£52 million) to bring him in, but now United would be happy to sell for just £25 million (€29 million).

Another player United hopes will shine at the World Cup is England international Marcus Rashford. As things stand, it is difficult for Rashford to have a future at United. Although Carrick also lacks a left winger, Rashford does not fit the team culture being built, and his weekly wage of £325,000 does not match the salary structure established by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Dropping Rashford was not only Ruben Amorim's request but also the club's decision.

Barcelona can buy out Rashford for €30 million before June 15, but they will obviously not do so. By then, United must make a decision. Barcelona hopes United will be forced to lower the price, while the Red Devils expect Rashford to perform well at the World Cup to attract other buyers, such as Arsenal or Bayern Munich, both of whom are looking for a new left winger.

However, Bayern are not particularly interested in Rashford. Christian Falk of Bild explained: "The rumors of Rashford joining Bayern have started again! How interesting. When I spoke with Bayern a few weeks ago, they emphasized that the Rashford rumors were not true. However, at that time Bayern were still competing for Gordon, and now Newcastle have sold him to Barcelona, so Rashford has an opportunity again."

Falk added: "In my opinion, the €30 million price is not an issue for Bayern, unlike Barcelona; Bayern have money. But the biggest problem is Rashford's high wages; Bayern will not pay excessive wages for a backup player. Rashford is an interesting name, but Bayern are more focused on other candidates. Personally, I think Rashford is not a good fit for Bayern. Of course, Luis Díaz was not the first choice last year either; there were three or four players more favored than him at the time. So I won't rule out Rashford's possibility 100%, but the timing is not right now."
