United swiftly appointed Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim as his successor.
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.

Carrick also won the Champions League title once with the English football giants
