"Ole Gunnar Solskjr has had face-to-face talks with Manchester United regarding becoming the interim manager until the end of the season. The Norwegian is vying with Michael Carrick for the role and wass expected to meet Omar Berrada, United's chief executive, and Jason Wilcox, the director of football, at the club's Carrington training base on Saturday. Carrick is thought to have been interviewed on Thursday by Berrada and Wilcox."
"If United go out today, their chances of winning a trophy will be over by 11 January the earliest such date since World War II. Brighton are always awkward opponents for United they've won six of the last nine games, including three of the last four at Old Trafford and their form has picked up after a pre-Christmas slump. It should be a close, exciting game."
Manchester United are considering Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Michael Carrick for the interim manager role until season end, with Solskjær holding face-to-face talks and Carrick interviewed by club executives. Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox are involved in the selection process. Darren Fletcher remains caretaker and will manage the FA Cup tie against Brighton after overseeing a 2-2 draw at Burnley. The FA Cup third-round match at Old Trafford repeats the 1983 final. Brighton have recent success against United, winning six of nine and three of the last four at Old Trafford, making a close, potentially extended game likely.
