Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho hints that midfielder Michael Carrick will be offered a new contract at Old Trafford.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has suggested that the club will offer Michael Carrick a one-year contract extension before the end of the season.

Carrick has just over seven months remaining on his existing deal but after the 35-year-old continued to impress in the centre of his midfield, Mourinho revealed that the long-serving player remains part of his plans ahead of next season.

The 53-year-old told the club's official website: "Michael is 35 years old. With such an intense game he was having some cramps in the last period, which is normal. It is very sad to know that time flies for every one of us.

"He is such a fantastic player and it is a pity, I always loved him, but instead of being his manager when he was 25 I am his manager when he is 35.

"We have a good understanding. We know when he can play. We know when he is ready and when he needs a rest. I am still having Michael Carrick and probably for one more season. That's life."

United have not suffered defeat in any of the seven games in which Carrick has featured this season.
