English midfielder Michael Carrick could end his illustrious career with Manchester United at the end of the season and might be on his way to join another team, preferably from the Premier League.
This has irked a number of clubs who want the English ace to be a part of their side in the near future and might be on their way to tabling a bid for the veteran Manchester United player in the next transfer window. The list is a rather long one and includes the name of West Bromwich Albion.
The Baggies have a tradition of snapping up players from Manchester United, with the likes of Jonny Evans and their former captain Darren Fletcher being the target of their earlier buys. The inclusion of the 36-year-old midfielder could add a lot of quality to their side and help them to improve their quality in the midfield.
With the likes of Grzegorz Krychowiack and Gareth Barry already at the club, it is expected that a key figure like Michael Carrick might help their side establish as European competitors. The English international’s experience is sure to help the Baggies compete at the highest level.
Since the inception of the Mourinho era at Old Trafford, the importance of the English midfielder has reduced significantly. Ignored by the Portuguese manager, the inclusion of Nemanja Matic in the side during the summer transfer window has made it worse.
This has reportedly made the player to force his way out of the club in search of regular game time, even if it is in January. West Bromwich Albion might look to take advantage of the situation and table a bid for the player in the next transfer window.
Known for his exceptional quality to keep possession of the ball for a significantly long time, Carrick is one of the best midfielders to play for the Red Devils since his arrival at the club in 2006. The last few seasons, however, have seen him sit out with injury problems and it might seem to be the right time for him to part ways with the 13 time Premier League champions.
West Brom have one of the best defensive lineups in the Premier League and are currently looking to bring in some experience in their midfield as well. The inclusion of the veteran Englishman might be an indication of that. But with an already strong midfield, does Carrick fit in well at the Hawthorns?
