Manchester United's Michael Carrick set for one-year contract extension

Michael Carrick is set to be given a one-year contract extension by Manchester United.

The 35-year-old midfielder is coming to the end of his 11th season at the club and has a testimonial on 4 June.

Contract talks have progressed well, and confidence has been expressed on both sides that an extension to his existing deal, which expires on 30 June, will reach a positive conclusion.

Carrick joined United from Tottenham in an £18.6m deal in 2006.

He has made 457 appearances in all competitions, putting him 17th on United's all-time list, and scored 24 goals.
