Teddy Sheringham has criticized Manchester United for delaying a decision on Michael Carrick's future, urging the club to secure the midfielder's services. Speaking to the media, Sheringham expressed concern that the hesitation could unsettle Carrick, who has been a key player for the team.
Carrick, 35, has been in talks with United over a contract extension, but no agreement has been reached. Sheringham, a former United striker, believes the club should act swiftly to avoid losing the player's experience and leadership.
United manager Jose Mourinho has previously praised Carrick's influence on and off the pitch, but the club's hierarchy appears divided on the length of any new deal. Sheringham's comments add pressure on United to resolve the situation before the transfer window opens.
