"Former England midfielder Carrick made 464 appearances for United as a player between 2006-18, winning five Premier League titles and the Champions League under Sir Alex Ferguson. He stayed at the club following retirement as a member of Jose Mourinho's coaching staff and remained as first-team coach under successor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, later taking caretaker charge for three matches after the Norwegian was sacked in November 2021 and leaving when Ralf Rangnick became interim manager."
"Carrick will take training at Carrington on Wednesday and be in the dugout on Saturday when Manchester City visit Old Trafford for a lunchtime derby in the Premier League. He was eventually preferred to fellow club legend Solskjaer - out of work since being dismissed by Besiktas in August - as the top choice for the interim role after both men were interviewed by United CEO Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox, with Solskjaer previously considered as the likely favourite."
"Fletcher now returns to his role as United's lead Under-18s coach, with Carrick's backroom team finalised as he steps up until the club appoint a permanent successor to Amorim in the summer. It is unclear at this stage if Carrick will be in the running for the full-time position. For now he will be joined by Holland, Gareth Southgate's former long-time assistant with England who also spent six years on Chelsea's coaching staff in various roles."
