Manchester United expect Michael Carrick to sign a new one-year deal in the next week.

The Telegraph says the midfield veteran's deal is up this summer and he looked to be heading for the exit.

But new boss Jose Mourinho is desperate to keep the 34-year-old on board for his debut season and has handed the player a new 12-month contract.

It's claimed United are 'confident' the deal will be signed in the next seven days, sealing Mourinho's first bit of business in the Old Trafford hot seat.
