Michael Carrick could be set for another year at Manchester United with talks over a new contract due.

The 35-year-old midfielder, instrumental in the club's revival earlier in the season, will discuss the possibility of renewing in the coming weeks.

If those go well Carrick would pen fresh one-year terms ahead of another campaign and his testimonial at Old Trafford.

Executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward will hold contract talks with Carrick

The former England international had claimed he was undecided over whether this season would be his last.

But news that Carrick's representatives will sit down with executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward after the EFL Cup final indicates he's made up his mind.

Carrick didn't start a Premier League game under Jose Mourinho until November but was widely credited with bringing the best out of Paul Pogba.

His games have been managed after the festive period, during which he started six of United's seven fixtures.

'It's one thing to be 25 years old, another thing to be 35 years old,' Mourinho said. 'That's the logic of things. But the only thing I can say is he's phenomenal. No doubts about it.

'Do I have to manage? I think I have to. He gives us stability in our game, he gives mental freedom to the other guys around him to be more offensive.'

Carrick teased supporters on social media by revealing he had a 'big announcement' to make, which is expected to be details about a testimonial match.
