Michael Carrick is among the frontrunners to take over at Middlesbrough, with the Championship club keen to sound him out for talks.
The Manchester United legend has been out of work since he opted to leave Old Trafford following the appointment of Ralf Rangnick last year. Carrick had worked closely alongside Ole Gunnar Solskjaer during his stint as boss, but stayed on following his dismissal in an interim capacity.
During his time in the dugout, the 41-year-old got a tune out of the underperforming United players, leading them to two wins, and a creditable draw away at Chelsea. It was then anticipated that he would stick around when Rangnick was hired for the rest of the season, but instead decided to step away.
