Crystal Palace have emerged as the favourites to sign Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick and are set to beat West Ham to his signature, according to The Croydon Advertiser.

The veteran midfielder is out of contract at Old Trafford this summer and is expected to leave the Red Devils as Jose Mourinho upgrades his playing components.

Carrick is a product of the fabled West Ham youth academy and has gone on to prosper at both club and international level since leaving the London club.

With the skilful pass-master available on a free transfer this summer and able to add invaluable experience and quality to a Premier League rival, bringing him back to the Hammers seems like an excellent option.

However, Alan Pardew’s men are believed to have stolen a march on their rivals in the quest to land the United star and are thought to be leading the race for his signature.
