Carrick: Utd 'can compete' despite being out-spent

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick expressed confidence that his side can compete with Premier League rivals despite being outspent in the summer transfer window. United spent around £150 million ($202m) to sign three midfielders — Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans, and Carlos Baleba — while Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham all invested more in transfer fees. Carrick made his comments ahead of United's trip to Everton on Sunday, saying he is 'largely happy' with the squad assembled before Tuesday's transfer deadline.
