Manchester United's interim head coach Michael Carrick has slammed the door on a January exit for Harry Maguire, with reports stating that the Red Devils have rejected 'several approaches' for the England defender this month. AC Milan and multiple Premier League clubs are said to have shown an interest but United will reject all approaches for the 32-year-old this month, with his current contract expiring at the end of the season.

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro can automatically trigger a one-year extension onto his contract at Old Trafford if he starts a certain number of games this season, it has been revealed. The 33-year-old would see his Red Devils contract extended until 2027 at his current salary, if he reaches the target. This could be a challenge due to United's lack of European football and poor form in the cup competitions, with just the Premier League left to play in.

Michael Carrick said he is ready for the unrelenting scrutiny he is about to face as Manchester United coach, including from his former Red Devils' team-mates. Ruben Amorim was eventually weighed down by the volley of criticism from United legends such as Gary Neville but Carrick insisted he would pay little attention to comments from the high profile pundits in the media.

Roy Keane has aimed a savage dig at Michael Carrick's "big mouth" wife following his appointment as Manchester United's new interim head coach. Carrick has been charged with overseeing the Red Devils for the rest of the season after Ruben Amorim's sacking. And as the ex-Middlesbrough boss prepares for this new position, Keane risked re-igniting a feud with Carrick's wife, Lisa, with a brutal put-down.

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville says that Michael Carrick can't be the club's next permanent manager following his appointment as coach until the end of the season. The television pundit says that the Red Devils must go for a more experienced option in the summer and named three potential candidates who could take over at Old Trafford.
