Michael Carrick

Andreas Pereira of Manchester United stated that learning from Coach Michael Carrick is easy and effective. Andreas revealed that Carrick has been helping him in training so that his future in Manchester United would be secure. He stated that the new club assistant makes it easy for new players to follow his lead.

Andreas is a 22-year-old player who is playing at Old Trafford after he was given on loan for a season at Valencia. He hopes to impress Jose Mourinho and hopefully the tour of the team in the US would reveal his abilities and how well the Carrick, the first team coach, has been carrying out his duties. Pereira stated that the manager had asked him which position he will play in and he has chosen to be at No 6. He will do his best and everyone is helping out as well, including Carrick. Every training session is with him and that is important, along with advice and guidance from other coaches.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed that the club have plans in place to bolster the midfield with both Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini due to leave Old Trafford. Carrick has already announced his decision to end his playing career in the summer and shortly after, he is expected to take up a coaching role under Mourinho.

Manchester United had reportedly sent scouts to keep a close watch on Abdoulaye Doucoure during Watford’s Premier League win over West Bromwich Albion last weekend. The Frenchman has emerged as the Hornet’s leading scorer this term with seven goals, and his progress has caught the eye of the Premier League’s elite.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho expressed his pleasure of having Michael Carrick back in the starting line-up. The 36-year-old made his first appearance since September as he captained the Red Devils during the fourth-round FA Cup win over Yeovil Town.

Following the 4-0 triumph, Mourinho was pleased to have Carrick back in the first-team mix, though he admits that the club will miss him at the end of the season, when he is set to call time on his playing career. Despite this, Mourinho is delighted to have the midfielder in a coaching capacity from the next campaign, and he want to help in the progress of becoming a better coach.

Manchester United legend-turned-pundit Rio Ferdinand has heaped praise of summer signing Romelu Lukaku despite his poor form with the Red Devils of late. The Belgium international notched 11 goals in his first 10 appearances for the Mancunian giants, and he had to wait for another eight games before finding the scoresheet against Newcastle United last weekend.

In the lead up to the Brighton game, the United great spoke fondly about Lukaku, who he has labelled as an animal in the box, he told BT Sport: "Lukaku, when he’s on form, is an animal. He’s difficult to play against. If you get the right ball into him, he’s going to score goals. His record up until now, as a young player in the Premier League, has been nothing short of great."

Jose Mourinho claims that Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick still has a role to play at the club, despite not featuring prominently this season.

Speaking ahead of the game, Mourinho has dismissed suggestions that Carrick is no longer part of the regular first-team setup at the club. The Portuguese manager says that the experience and the quality provided by the 36-year-old will be vital, as he prepares for his first competitive match of the season.

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick says that the fringe players at the club need to be patient in order to be able to secure regular first-team football under Jose Mourinho.

The experienced midfielder Michael Carrick has recently opted to pen a new 1 year contract extension with the Premier League club Manchester United as the veteran player believes that he can push through for at least another season which is a fairly impressive and surprising thing to see for a player who is 35 years old and is nearing the 36 year mark as his birthday is edging nearer.

Manchester United legend-turned-pundit Gary Neville heaped praise on Michael Carrick ahead of this weekend's testimonial match.

Manchester United long time midfielder Michael Carrick could not hide his disappointment after the Red Devils played a 1-1 draw with Belgian side Anderlecht in the Europa League quarter final.
