Michael Carrick confirms meeting with Man Utd hierarchy

During a press conference to preview Saturday’s derby with Manchester City, Carrick was asked about the nature of any talks that have taken place.

“I’ve spoke to Jason an awful lot and been working closely with him, and Omar as well,” Carrick said.

“Over the last few days, we’ve spoken a lot, as you’d imagine.

“The owners, the ownership group, were in and around it, so it was nice to see them and meet them yesterday and have a small chat. They were taking care of business in some ways but we were able to share a few things, and they wished us all the very best.

“It was good to see them.”
