Manchester United have received a boost as they gear up to appoint their next permanent manager this summer. The Red Devils turned to their former midfielder Michael Carrick as an interim boss following the sacking of Ruben Amorim in January, with the club’s plan being to appoint a permanent head coach come the end of the season. While Carrick has impressed in the Old Trafford hot seat, winning six of his first seven matches and putting the club back in contention for a Champions League place, reports have suggested that the former England star is not one of the frontrunners for the job.
