Michael Carrick snubs China move

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has turned down a big-money move to the Chinese Super League.

It had been earlier claimed that a host of Chinese clubs were interested in the England international, whose existing deal is due to expire at the end of the season.

However, Carrick's representatives have knocked back numerous bids presented by a sole agent on behalf of the lucrative league.

Carrick is also said to be a top transfer target for league rivals Arsenal.

The 34-year-old has made over 400 appearances for the Red Devils since his move form Tottenham Hotspur nearly a decade ago.
