The biggest story in Manchester United circles this week has been Manchester City’s decision to host next Thursday’s FA Youth Cup final at the 6,000-capacity Joie Stadium.
It is a move that has not gone down well within United's academy, with coaches, players and their families voicing their displeasure in public and private.
Carrick has been at all United's FA Youth Cup games since taking charge in January. His son, Jacey, is part of the club's under-16 squad and one of the players who has 'liked' criticism of City's decision on social media.
I wonder what Carrick will have to say about the decision himself at his news conference later on Thursday.
Carrick (second left in the image below) played in the 1999 final for West Ham – a team that also included Joe Cole beat Coventry City 9-0 across two games.
The games were played at Highfield Road and the Boleyn Ground, where over 20,000 fans turned up.
Come back to this page later on Thursday for all the key lines from Carrick.
