Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has reportedly ended weeks of contract negotiations by agreeing a new deal at Old Trafford, with an official announcement due at the end of this week.
Carrick's current deal with the Red Devils expires next summer, with United boss David Moyes keen to keep the midfield anchor beyond the length of those terms.
The 32-year-old has been mulling over a contract offer for much of the last fortnight and has now given the green light to a deal worth the same as his current £3.5m-a-year terms, according to the Daily Mail.
The midfielder's two-and-a-half-year extension also includes an option for a further 12 months, securing the England international's long-term future in a deal that looks likely to see the midfielder end his career with United.
Carrick is currently sidelined through injury, with Moyes unlikely to have him fit until 2014 as he recovers from an Achilles problem.
