I don\u2019t see it as anything else, other than pushing on and using what he\u2019s just done over the last month or so as a stepping stone and being here for a long time.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ahead of this weekend&#8217;s trip to Arsenal, interim boss Michael Carrick admitted he is weighing up who will&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":387531,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[220,145964,146330,59,349,221,101,568,56,54,55,38000],"class_list":["post-387530","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-arsenal","tag-arsenal-vs-manchester-united","tag-b-sesko","tag-gb","tag-manchester-united","tag-premier-league","tag-sports","tag-transfers","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-v-gyoekeres"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=387530"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387530\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/387531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=387530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=387530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=387530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
