Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Michael Carrick will take up Manchester United’s coaching role offer at the end of the season.
The 36-year old midfielder hasn’t played for the club since September this season, after experiencing an irregular heart rhythm that required treatment. Mourinho said;
The club would be very happy for him to do that. I would be very happy also for him to do that. I expect him to join.
[He had] a few months without even training so now he is in his second week of training with the team. He is a very important player for us.
I think it is a good decision for the team and a good decision for him to finish playing football and not injured or with some problem.
Carrick had a treatment called a cardiac ablation after “feeling strange” during an EFL Cup game against Burton Albion in September.
The British Heart Foundation says an ablation is a treatment that aims to control or correct certain types of abnormal heart rhythms.
Carrick joined the Red Devils from Tottenham in 2006 and has won five Premier League titles, the Champions League, Europa League and Fifa Club World Cup with the club.
