CARRICK TO BE OFFERED COACHING ROLE
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has revealed he will be offering Michael Carrick a role on the coaching staff.
The club captain released a statement on Friday night saying he has undergone a heart procedure called a cardiac ablation and that he will soon be available for selection.
Mourinho, speaking after the 1-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, suggested the 36-year-old will continue as a player this season before having a decision to make on his future. After taking his coaching badges and working with the youngsters at the Aon Training Complex, it is clear the midfielder could take this step at a later date.
"Michael, as a person, is more important than Michael as a player," said the boss. "We gave him the time to relax, to recover, to feel confident, to make the decision [when he] wants to play, [when he] wants to stop.
"He knows that my coaching staff has the chair for him if he wants. When he wants the chair, it is there in the office for him. I want that, the board wants that and the owner wants that. So Michael is in a comfortable situation. His future will be with us.
"But he wants to be a player until the end of the season and now he feels confident to be back and now he is training back with us. So [he is] one more option for us, we need players and Michael wants to play so I am happy with that."

LINDELOF KICKSTARTS HIS UNITED CAREER
There are often turning points, single moments in a match, when fans look back and think ‘that kickstarted his career’.
The Old Trafford faithful possibly witnessed that exact moment on Saturday when Victor Lindelof arrived – in more ways than one – with a crunching, but fair, challenge on Anthony Knockaert which seemed to help inspire the Reds to defeat Brighton.
The crowd roared in appreciation of a player who, in truth, has taken time to settle in his opening five months in the Premier League. It lifted the whole atmosphere and the supporters helped the Reds get over the line.
"It think it was a good challenge," he said. "It was a 50/50 ball and I just thought I have to win this ball and I did. We are delighted with the clean sheet, we are always trying to do a good defensive job, and trying not to concede goals. We did do that today and that was very good for us."
Lindelof came in for criticism in some quarters in a couple of his opening outings for the Reds but his Man-of-the Match performance against Brighton and, in particular, the memorable tackle on Knockaert earned rave reviews from two former United stars who believe it could be the turning point he needs.
Former defender David May told MUTV after the win: "The tackle kickstarted him. I thought he was one of our best players and I think it's the best game he has played for us."
Lou Macari also added: "It was tough to begin with but he's starting to show what he's got and long may that continue.”
Lindelof’s talent has never been in question. He starred in Sweden’s recent World Cup qualification, keeping Italy’s attacking riches at bay, twice, but Jose Mourinho has admitted in recent months that the 23-year-old will need time to adapt to the physical challenges and pace of the Premier League.
But patience is a rare commodity in modern football. Many will forget a certain Nemanja Vidic, who was signed from Spartak Moscow in 2006 and made his debut, along with Patrice Evra, in the Manchester derby. Both had a day to forget - Evra was hauled off at half-time - as United were beaten 4-1.
Vidic and Evra were given the time to adapt and as we all know, went on to become United legends. History suggests Lindelof deserves the same time to prove his worth and the fans were in agreement this weekend.
Some 57 per cent of votes went for the centre-back, with Ashley Young second on 37 per cent and Nemanja Matic in third on six per cent
