Michael Carrick is on the verge of signing a new contract at Manchester United, but Mike Phelan’s future at Old Trafford remains in doubt.
The Mirror claim former United midfielder Carrick and fellow coach Kieran McKenna, both of whom were on the coaching staff under Jose Mourinho before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced him in December, will sign new deals in the next few days.

However, Phelan, who had a spell as a player at Old Trafford in the early 1990s and was also a key ally of Manchester United great Sir Alex Fergsuon, has still not signed a contract to stay.

And Phelan is believed to have told pals that he is interested in acquiring the same position at United.
The Red Devils have been looking at appointing a director of football since last year.
