Michael Carrick has called on everyone at Manchester United to “pull together” in order to bring ­success back to the club, after being appointed on Tuesday night as head coach until the end of the season.

The former midfielder has brought the ex-England assistant Steve ­Holland and Jonathan Woodgate to work alongside him. They will join Jonny Evans, Travis Binnion and Craig Mawson in the backroom staff. It is Carrick’s second spell leading the team, having taken charge previously of three games after Ole Gunnar ­Solskjær was dismissed in 2021.
