Mourinho offers Carrick coaching role at Man United
Jose Mourinho has revealed that he has offered club captain Michael Carrick a coaching role with Manchester United after the ex-England international announced he had received treatment for an irregular heart rhythm.
Carrick, 36, issued a statement on the eve of United’s 1-0 win over Brighton on Saturday that revealed he had undergone a procedure to correct the problem.
The midfielder suffered dizzy spells during a League Cup win over Burton in September and has only recently been cleared to resume training with Mourinho’s first team.
MANCHESTER:
KAKA IN TALKS WITH CHINESE LEAGUE
Brazilian star Kaka is in talks with Guizhou Hengfeng Zhicheng about prolonging his career with a move to the Chinese Super League (CSL) side, reports say.
The 35-year-old former Real Madrid and AC Milan attacking midfielder is a free agent after leaving Orlando City in Major League Soccer (MLS) in the United States last month.
The World Cup winner was linked with a move to the boardroom of AC Milan, where he is a popular figure since his playing days.But Corriere dello Sport newspaper in Italy and state media in China say he could extend his playing career by a year at Guizhou, who are managed by the Spaniard Gregorio Manzano and finished eighth when the CSL season ended earlier this month.
Guizhou City News said that no contract had yet been signed, but said that Kaka and the club “had a good conversation”.
BAYERN SUFFER LOSS TO MOENCHENGLADBACH
Bayern Munich suffered a shock 2-1 loss at Borussia Moenchengladbach on a day of high drama in the Bundesliga after Schalke 04 staged a remarkable four-goal comeback to draw 4-4 at Borussia Dortmund.
It was Bayern’s first loss after nine straight wins in all competitions under coach Jupp Heynckes, who took over in October, and only their second in the league this season. Two-time MVP Curry has agreed on a new deal with Golden
State Warriors, the point guard inking the NBA’s first contract to break the $200million barrier. Quarterback Derek Carr had struck a $125m deal over five years with Oakland Raiders in (American) National Football League. That is less than Kershaw, a lot less than Curry
and no where near Messi. Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw signed on the dotted line of a seven-year, $215m contract in 2014. He is Major League Baseball’s best-paid player. Surprisingly, four-time world champ Lewis Hamilton is not F1’s best paid driver as negotiations over a new deal with Mercedes continue. Alonso is paid $40m per year to drive McLaren. India cricket captain Virat Kohli is believed to have earned $2.5m from Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2017 IPL. But that was only for 10 matches that he eventually played.
