Michael Carrick Emerges as Frontrunner for Manchester United Interim Role

Face-to-face interviews left the former midfielder as the preferred short-term option, with a decision expected soon.

Overview

  • Reports indicate Carrick could be appointed within hours as United seeks stability for the rest of the season.
  • Chief executive Omar Berrada and football director Jason Wilcox led talks, meeting Carrick on Thursday and holding separate discussions with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Saturday.
  • Ruben Amorim was sacked earlier this month, with Darren Fletcher overseeing the Burnley draw and the FA Cup defeat to Brighton in caretaker charge.
  • United is focusing on an interim appointment now and is expected to widen its permanent search in the summer.
  • A 2014 post from Lisa Carrick criticizing Roy Keane has resurfaced, which she deleted and followed with an apology after Keane called a Carrick interview "flat."
