United are hoping to confirm the appointment of an interim manager to take charge of the team until the end of the season within the next 48 hours, with Carrick and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer both having spoken to the club about the position."
"But with CEO Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox having met Carrick and Solskjaer in recent days, an appointment is expected in the early stages of this week to give the new coach preparation time ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash against Manchester City at Old Trafford.

Sources have said that Carrick's personality and coaching qualities impressed senior players during his time at United and that the former England midfielder is favoured by some senior players at the club."
