West Ham may look to attract former player Michael Carrick should the club take the decision to break with manager David Moyes for the second time.
Carrick, who made over 150 appearances for the Hammers at the beginning of his career, is currently in his first permanent managerial role with Middlesbrough, and said to be looked upon favourably as a replacement for Moyes, as per The Times.
The embattled 59-year-old has been at the club, albeit with an 18-month break where the east London club were managed by Manuel Pellegrini, since 2017, but he has struggled to keep a firm hold on the role in recent months.
