The winter mercato is the time for several Red Devils to switch clubs, in the hope of still being able to force or secure a selection for the World Cup. For example, Wout Faes already went to AS Monaco to have a chance again. There is also movement around Yannick Carrasco.
The wing attacker’s last selection dates back to the European Championship in the summer of 2024. After that, Domenico Tedesco left the experienced player aside to give opportunities to younger wing attackers. Rudi Garcia also no longer fished Carrasco.

Roma takes action for Carrasco
In recent years, the 32-year-old has worked in Saudi Arabia, which is still not the most highly regarded competition. However, this winter he could make his return to the European fields.
After all, AS Roma is pulling harder and harder on his sleeve. The sporting director of the Italian top club confirmed the interest on Sunday and now they would also take full action. Several Italian sources report that they have made a first verbal proposal to Al-Shabab.
First loan proposal
Roma would like to rent Carrasco for the rest of the season. They cannot afford a permanent transfer, partly because of the sky-high wages that our compatriot receives. Carrasco himself would like to take the step.
For the time being, however, Al-Shabab is less eager to let its captain leave, especially on a rental basis. Contacts between all parties continue, but it remains to be seen whether an agreement will be reached.
