Manchester United to Seal Midfielder Deal

Manchester United are still in search of top quality midfielder but will they sign one in the winter window?
Louis van Gaal secured the signing of Ander Herrera from Atheltic Bilbao in the summer transfer window but perhaps only his capture was not enough.
At that moment, the Red Devils have two midfielders out injured in the form of Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini.
Both have returned and proved to be more fruitful than many would have imagined.
Lately, the duo have been brilliant in helping United win four games in a row. All the talk about selling Fellaini has died down.
Adding to that, now Manchester United are planning to hand a bumper new deal to England international Michael Carrick.
According to reports, Manchester United are to seal new deal for the former Tottenham Hotspur star who is vital to Van Gaal’s midfield plans.
With Blind out injured, Carrick has been performing the holding cum creative midfield role well and made sure that the Dutch international is not missed.
As per the provided link, Carrick’s contract will expire at the end of the current campaign and United are planning to hand him new one year contract to stay with the club.
His experience has proven vital in United’s form revival and can help the youngsters like Herrera to be better as well.
United also continue their chase for Roma’s Kevin Strootman but signing him in the winter will not be easy.
