Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has admitted he doesn’t know whether he’ll still be at Old Trafford next season and has revealed the club are yet to offer him a new deal.

The 34-year-old’s contract expires in the summer after making more than 400 appearances for the Red Devils over a ten year period.

Carrick has played 28 times so far this campaign, but uncertainty over the future of boss Louis van Gaal means the England international has been left in the dark.

When asked about the current contract situation, Carrick said: “Honestly, I don’t know. There’s no news at all. I’ve heard nothing really, so I can’t comment at this stage.”

Following Manchester United’s impressive 3-2 victory over Arsenal on Sunday, Carrick was asked whether he was happy to leave contract talks until the end of the season.

He said: “I just want to enjoy tonight first.”

The former West Ham and Tottenham midfielder has picked up a Champions League winners’ medal along with five Premier League titles in his time at United.
