CARRICK TO COACH AFTER RETIREMENT
Michael Carrick has accepted Jose Mourinho's offer to join his first team coaching staff upon retirement, the Manchester United manager has revealed.
Carrick has played just once this campaign and revealed in November that he had been diagnosed with an irregular heart rhythm following tests.
The 36-year-old had a procedure to correct that issue and is now back in training as he targets a return to the pitch in what is his 12th and likely final season as a United player.
Two months ago Mourinho admitted he wanted Carrick as part of his backroom team once he had hung up his boots and the midfielder has indicated a willingness to take up the position.
"When he wants (it), yes," Mourinho said.
