Jose Mourinho to Man Utd: Midfielder's contract to be sorted out this week
MICHAEL CARRICK'S future will be resolved as soon as Jose Mourinho is appointed Manchester United boss, according to reports.
Michael Carrick could sign a new deal soon
The 34-year-old, who is out of contract in the summer, is the club's second-longest serving player after Wayne Rooney.
Van Gaal's two-year tenure at Old Trafford came to an end yesterday, despite lifting the FA Cup on Saturday after a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.
Mourinho, Express Sport understands, is expected to be formally appointed as the United boss this week.
Talks over a contract extension for Carrick had previously been shelved until it was clear what the managerial situation was.
However, with that now resolved, the Daily Mail claim the 34-year-old will be handed a new one-year deal in the coming days.
