"Manchester United expect to confirm Michael Carrick as the interim manager on Tuesday, with finance to be at the 44-year-old's disposal to strengthen the squad should a target for the long term become available. The announcement of Carrick's appointment is scheduled for Tuesday and Darren Fletcher, who has taken charge of two games since Ruben Amorim's sacking, will be given the opportunity to be part of the coaching team."
"Carrick wants Jonathan Woodgate, who worked alongside him at Middlesbrough, to be part of his backroom staff. Carrick, who pulled ahead of Ole Gunnar Solskjr during the interview process, will lead United for the first time on Wednesday when the players return to training after two days off. With midfield one of the positions United want to strengthen, Al-Hilal's Ruben Neves is a target. The Portuguese would cost about 20m and should his acquisition become viable there are funds available for his purchase."
Manchester United expect to confirm Michael Carrick as interim manager on Tuesday, with finance available to strengthen the squad if a long-term target becomes available. Darren Fletcher will be offered a coaching role after taking charge of two games following Ruben Amorim's sacking. Carrick wants Jonathan Woodgate, his former Middlesbrough colleague, in the backroom staff. Carrick led the interview process ahead of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and will oversee training when players return on Wednesday. Midfield is a priority, with Al-Hilal's Ruben Neves targeted at about £20m. Funds would be available for his purchase or other targets. Carrick's first match is the Saturday derby against Manchester City.
