Manchester United to decide whether Carrick will become permanent manager

Manchester United have begun formal discussions with interim manager Michael Carrick regarding his appointment as permanent manager.

talkSPORT reports that Carrick is in a strong position to secure the role before the start of next season.

The former United midfielder has garnered considerable backing from senior leadership ahead of this week’s executive committee meeting.

The Red Devils maintain that no final decision has been made and that several candidates remain under consideration.

However, sources indicate that the club’s intended direction is to name Carrick—who took over from Ruben Amorim in January—as the preferred candidate for the position.
