‘Carrick can join Man Utd as coaching staff’
Manchester, Nov 26 (IANS) Manchester United chief coach Jose Mourinho said veteran midfielder Michael Carrick can join the club as a coaching staff whenever he wants post retirement.
The 36-year-old who has made 316 appearances for Manchester United, won the English Premier League (EPL) title five times with the club.
“Michael Carrick as a person is more important than Michael as a player,” the Portuguese tactician was quoted as saying by the Independent on Saturday.
“He knows that my coaching staff has a chair for him, if he wants, when he wants. The chair is in the office for him I want that, the board want that, the owners want that.
“Michael is in a comfortable position, the future is with us. But he wants to play until the end of the season and now he feels confident to be back. He is one more option more for us,” Mourinho added.
Carrick also won the Champions League title once with the English football giants.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
