Manchester United are enjoying a two-week break after their early FA Cup loss. It’s been more than a week since their draw against West Ham, and they won’t play again until Monday’s trip to Everton.
As one might expect, much of the conversation about the club has focused on the summer. A verdict will be necessary about Michael Carrick’s future as manager, with performances across the remaining 12 encounters of the season likely to prove influential.
While some action will take place in the trade market regardless of who inhabits the dugout. Here are the Daily Star Sport’s most recent debate topics from around Old Trafford.

The winter transfer window was quiet for United, however one transaction saw Sekou Kone sent on loan to Lausanne-Sport. However, the Malian midfielder’s trade has not gone as planned, according to the Mirror.
Kone made his debut as a substitute against Thun in a Swiss Super League defeat. He was an unused substitute in both of Lausanne’s subsequent February games and has since been dropped from the club’s Conference League squad.
United cited potential European intervention as rationale for sending Kone to Switzerland. According to The Mail, the absence has caused concern at Old Trafford.
Fresh Barcelona battle
According to German rumors, United could be chasing two Barcelona talents. Julian Ryerson, a right-back for Borussia Dortmund, is one of them persons, while Kennert Eichhorn is another.
According to BILD (via Sport Witness), Eichhorn, a teenage prodigy, has piqued the interest of several major clubs with his Hertha Berlin performances. Bayern Munich, Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig, Barcelona, and Real Madrid have all been suggested as potential destinations, in addition to United.
Eichhorn was 16 in July and quickly established himself in Hertha’s senior squad. It is expected that he will make a move this summer, regardless of whether Hertha wins promotion back to the Bundesliga.
