""This club needs young players coming through," Carrick said of United's young players. "They are the foundation of the club - they understand what it means - and for the supporters as well. "It's something we need to keep building on and Kobbie is a prime example. "I was working with him at 13 or 14 when I was doing my [coaching] badges. "To come through so quickly, have such a rapid rise and play in some big games at such a young age shows a lot of quality in terms of his character and being able to handle it.""
"The Brazilian had an additional year's extension option that the club could have triggered, but they have decided not to, with Carrick confirming that the decision had been taken before he was appointed. It was decided before I arrived, Carrick said of Casemiro's confirmed departure. I've spoken with him and he's desperate to finish the season strongly absolutely no doubts about him. Casemiro, 33, is not the only player to be out of contract this summer, with defender Harry Maguire also approaching the end of his deal. It is coming into that time of the season with contracts, Carrick continued. We are working away through January. There will be conversations at the right time. The announcement for Case was for clarity."
Amorim departed and Carrick was appointed interim manager at Old Trafford, with Kobbie Mainoo starting his first game under him against Manchester City. Carrick emphasized that young players are the foundation of the club and praised Mainoo's rapid rise, character and ability to handle big games, recalling coaching him at 13 or 14. The club chose not to trigger an extra year on Casemiro's contract, a decision made before Carrick's appointment. Carrick said he has spoken with Casemiro, who wants to finish the season strongly. Other players, including Harry Maguire, also face upcoming contract decisions that the club will address in January.
