Midfielder Michael Carrick has signed a new
one year deal with Manchester United after
Jose Mourinho convinced him to stay with the
club for one more season.
Carrick, 34, signed for United in July 2006.
During his time at the club, he has won five
Premier League titles, an FA Cup, one League
Cup, a FIFA Club World Cup, and a UEFA
Champions League.
Michael Carrick said to Manutd.com:
"This great club has been a part of my life for
the past 10 years, so I am delighted that this
incredible journey is continuing. It’s great to
have the opportunity to work under José
Mourinho, who has achieved so much during his
managerial career. I would like to thank the
fans for their unwavering support. Winning the
FA Cup was a special moment and, hopefully,
we can go on to win more trophies in the
future."
José Mourinho said:"Michael is a very
intelligent midfielder and a great reader of the
game. I am pleased that he will be extending
his contract. His form this year shows his
ability and his enjoyment of the game are as
strong as ever. Michael has a wealth of
experience from his many years at the club and
that knowledge will be invaluable to me. I am
really looking forward to working with him."
