Michael Carrick has edged closer to Ole Gunnar Solskjær in the contest to become Manchester United’s interim manager, though the Norwegian is still the slight favourite, the Guardian understands.
Omar Berrada, the chief executive, and Jason Wilcox, the director of football, will not make an appointment until interviewing both men face-to-face. With the current interim, Darren Fletcher, leading United to a 2-2 draw at Burnley on Wednesday, the interviews are expected to take place on Thursday and possibly Friday, if required.
