The 33-year-old midfielder could be
available for Manchester United's trip
to West Brom on Monday night as his
recovery from an ankle injury
continues this week
Michael Carrick will
step up his return
from injury in a
behind-closed-doors training match at
Manchester United's Carrington
training ground on Tuesday.
Carrick has been unavailable to new
Old Trafford boss Louis van Gaal since
he suffered an ankle injury during a
pre-season session in July.
But the midfielder returned to training
in September and has been running
and working with a ball over the last
few days.
Carrick will take part in the hour-long
training match, featuring two sides
made up of United first team and
youth players, in a bid to continue his
return to full fitness.
United are hopeful Carrick will come
through the hour-long match and be
available to face West Brom.
The 33-year-old is understood to have
an outside chance of being fit for the
trip to The Hawthorns on Monday
night if his ankle stands up to the test
of match practice.
United signed Daley Blind and Ander
Herrera this summer to bolster their
options in central midfield, but have
lost the Spain international to a
fractured rib which could rule him out
of facing West Brom.
