Last season, Manchester United was one of the dullest attacking sides in the Premier League history of the club. With only 49 goals and one of the lowest tally in creating chances it was surprising how United finished 5th on the table.

One midfielder who made an impact whenever he was on the field and would create opportunities for other player ahead was Michael Carrick. The player is currently out of contract and there were rumors that the club may let go of the veteran midfielder. However, recent reports from the Mirror states that Manchester United are willing to offer a new contract of 12 months to Carrick.

This is a good news since during the transition phase at which  Manchester United is right now, stable and experienced players cannot be in short supply. The player has been more contributing in his game to build attack than the others, such as Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin and his stay will definitely be a boost for the team.
