"Manchester United have appointed former midfielder Michael Carrick as interim manager until the end of the season. The 44-year-old takes over from Ruben Amorim, whose 14-month reign ended on January 5 after the Portuguese criticised the club's hierachy. Ex-Chelsea and England assistant coach Steve Holland will assist Carrick alongside Jonathan Woodgate, Jonny Evans, Travis Binnion and goalkeeping coach Craig Mawson. United, who are three points shy of fourth place in seventh, host Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday (12:30 GMT)."
"Holland was at Chelsea between 2009 and 2017, working under Andre Villas-Boas, Roberto Di Matteo, Rafael Benitez, Jose Mourinho, Guus Hiddink and Antonio Conte. Now 55, he was appointed permanently by Southgate in 2017 and reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and finals of Euro 2020 and 2024 with the Three Lions, although he lasted only four months as manager of Japanese club Yokohama F Marinos before leaving in April 2025."
"In his first managerial role, Carrick succeeded Chris Wilder as Middlesbrough boss in October 2022 and guided his new club from 21st to a final position of fourth in the Championship. They were beaten 1-0 by Coventry City in the play-offs and finished four points shy of the play-offs the following season despite a run of seven wins and one defeat in their closing 12 games of 2023/24."
