LONDON. — Michael Carrick has agreed a new contract at Manchester United, according to Perth Glory CEO Peter Filopoulos.
The veteran midfielder’s current contract expires in the summer and he has been approached by Perth over a move to the Australian A-League.
Carrick has a close relationship with Perth captain and former West Ham team-mate Richard Garcia, who was the best man at his wedding, but Filopoulos has conceded the club will not be signing the 34-year-old this summer.
According to widespread reports in the national press, Carrick will sign a new one-year deal at Old Trafford and form part of new manager Jose Mourinho’s first-team squad.
“It was a long shot opportunity due to Richard Garcia’s relationship with Michael,” Filopoulos told FourFourTwo. — Sky Sports.
