Manchester United have eight days before their next game. The FA Cup quarter-finals are this weekend, so United do not play until April 13.

United are close to returning to the top European league under interim boss Michael Carrick. A top-four finish would help Carrick get the job permanently.

United are third, one point ahead of Aston Villa and five points ahead of Liverpool. A top-five finish might be enough for Champions League football.

The club wants to improve its midfield this summer. Several new players could join with Casemiro leaving and Manuel Ugarte possibly arriving.

Ryan Giggs likes Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton. Giggs said, 'I like left-footed players, so I wouldn't mind Wharton.'

'I think he looks like a Manchester United player,' Giggs said about Wharton. 'He can handle the ball and has Premier League experience.'

Giggs also likes Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson. 'Anderson is solid and plays every game,' Giggs said. He can see Wharton and Anderson playing together.

Adam Wharton is a potential target for Manchester United.

Giggs said the club needs two midfielders, but British players are expensive.

Manchester United might try to sign Elliot Anderson early this summer to save money. Anderson is another midfielder linked to the club.

Other teams like Manchester City, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich are also interested in Anderson. United do not want a bidding war.

Elliot Anderson's value could increase if he plays well in the World Cup.

If Anderson does well in the World Cup, his value could rise. Manchester United should act quickly to sign him.

Last summer, the club quickly signed Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. Acting fast could help them sign Anderson.
