Michael Carrick is keen to hear from Manchester United about a new deal.
The midfielder is out of contract in the summer and confirmed no discussions had been held.
"I haven't expected it to be honest, with the injury," said Carrick, who has only recently returned after having ankle surgery.
"It will probably be around Christmas or after that. Of course I want to stay, I've got nowhere else to go!"
