Captain Carrick Linked To Sunderland

The Daily Mail reported today that Manchester United and England midfielder Michael Carrick is on Steve Bruce’s radar.

Carrick, 28, found it hard to settle into Manchester United’s team last season and he could be the perfect replacement for Lorki Cana leaving for Galatasary.

Bruce is looking to submit an offer of £7m towards Alex Ferguson and maybe include captaincy in the terms of his contract.

The Newcastle-born midfielder may see this as an attractive proposition to regain his confidence and try and break back into the England set up under Fabio Cappello.
