Michael Carrick wants to bring Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the summer to bolster a key area of his squad, with Everton’s stance strong.

According to Fichajes, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is effectively becoming one of the key targets for Manchester United, with Michael Carrick keen to sign the player. Everton would take up a strong position in deciding the future of their key midfielder, as a busy summer awaits.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has reinvented himself at Everton following a difficult spell at Chelsea for a single season. He was a talented star at Leicester City, which did call for a move much earlier than it happened when it did to Chelsea.

However, his performances under David Moyes have brought him back into the limelight, with the likes of Aston Villa and Manchester United interested. Everton are not keen on selling him, and they are in a strong position owing to a long-term contract in place for the 27-year-old.

However, there could be a strong push from suitors, especially Manchester United, where Michael Carrick is keen to sign Dewsbury-Hall. The current Old Trafford boss is keen to bolster a key position in his squad that currently has only Bruno Fernandes in it.

Fernandes has done a massive job so far this season, but with Manchester United now widely expected to rejoin the Champions League ranks, he would need more options there. The proposition to join Manchester United might be much different from the one that led to his move to Chelsea, as the 27-year-old Everton star may have a big decision on his hands.

Everton to Sell Dewsbury-Hall?

Everton are likely to demand in the region of £50 million, which might not be seen as an issue on paper for Manchester United. However, given the reporting on the club’s summer plans, it may be a bit steep, and that may see the Red Devils tinker with their plans if they feel the Fernandes position is important to bolster.

While Carrick is not guaranteed to hold this job beyond this season, there will be doubts over whether another manager would see things the same way as the current interim boss does when it comes to Dewsbury-Hall. For now, Everton are in an extremely strong position when it comes to deciding the 27-year-old’s future, as they might hold out for considerably more than the £50 million reported in the story.
