Michael Carrick said he expects his future to be clarified in the next few days after he saw Bruno Fernandes equal the Premier League’s single-season assists record in Manchester United’s 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest.

Fernandes set up Bryan Mbeumo for United’s third of the afternoon, his 20th league assist of the season matching Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne’s record, as they hung on for a win that sealed third place.
