Manchester United assistant coach Michael Carrick was sent on a scouting mission by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this week, claims transfer expect Duncan Castles. And Carrick went to watch Lyon forward Moussa Dembele on Tuesday, where the former Celtic man scored a penalty in a League Cup shootout win for his side against Lille. Castles claims it is interesting a “senior coach” like Carrick was sent to scout the player. “United sent a scout to the match, I was hearing before kick off that that scout was Michael Carrick but I’ve not been able to confirm that,” Castles said on the Transfer Window podcast. “It will be interesting if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has sent one of his senior coaches to the game as we have heard that United sent Solskjaer and Mike Phelan to Lisbon to watch Bruno Fernandes before making their first offer for the player earlier this month.”JUST IN: Marcus Rashford faces two-month injury lay-off as Man Utd dealt top-four blow - EXCLUSIVE
