Manchester United v Nottingham Forest LIVE: Team news as Carrick close to permanent deal | OneFootball

Michael Carrick: 'The future for me is going to be decided pretty soon'

Carrick also provided an update of sorts on his own future.

“Listen, the future for me is going to be decided pretty soon,” he said. “We knew that was going to be towards the end of the season, if not the end of the season, so nothing’s changed.

“There’s no big swing on that, that is what it is, and obviously whatever’s beyond that is pretty close round the corner anyway.

“It’s a unique football club, special football club. I’m immensely proud to have come back and to be part of it, to help.

“As a supporter, as an ex-player and an ex-employee is one thing, but as a pure supporter and caring about the club so much to be in a position to come back and help him for us as a group to move forward it was important.

“To make the big step to get back into the Champions League is good and obviously we’re happy with the work that we’ve done so far.”
