"Manchester United embark on a new era as interim manager Michael Carrick makes his bow against Manchester City. The Red Devils appointed their former midfielder to see the club through until the end of the current campaign after Ruben Amorim was sacked last week. Carrick beat competition from his former boss and team-mate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to take the hotseat at Old Trafford, and he will begin his second caretaker spell against United's fierce rivals."
"Carrick takes the reins of a side that sit seventh in the Premier League table, three points off the top four. The former England international takes over from Darren Fletcher, United's under-18s' head coach, who guided the senior side to a 2-2 draw with Burnley and an FA Cup exit against Brighton and Hove Albion. Carrick locks horns with Pep Guardiola, whose City team have lost ground on Arsenal in the title race."
