"Carrick - who has been out of work since being sacked by Championship side Middlesbrough last summer following two-and-a-half years in charge - reportedly held talks with United's hierarchy on Thursday. Carrick made 463 total appearances for United across a 12-year spell after joining from Tottenham in 2006, staying on after retirement in a coaching capacity under Jose Mourinho and serving as first-team coach under former team-mate Solskjaer before spending two games as caretaker manager and then leaving following the Norwegian's dismissal."
"Solskjaer's only managerial job since then came with Turkish giants Besiktas, where he spent seven months before being sacked in August after losing a Conference League play-off tie. Solskjaer scored 126 goals in 366 appearances for United across all competitions between 1996-2007 before an injury-enforced retirement, part of the famous Treble-winning side of 1999 and scorer of the dramatic last-gasp winner in an unforgettable Champions League final against Bayern Munich in Barcelona."
