Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has reportedly asked Michael Carrick to assess the club's midfield targets for the summer transfer window ahead of the Englishman joining his backroom staff.
Carrick, 36, is set to retire from playing at the end of the season to join Mourinho's coaching team, and the Portuguese has already set him to work in finding his own replacement, per Sean Kearns in Metro.
United need at least one additional midfielder this summer to fill Carrick's boots, and perhaps two if Marouane Fellaini doesn't sign a new deal, and targets include Shakhtar Donetsk's Fred, Lazio's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Napoli's Jorginho, added Kearns.
