Manchester United are on the verge of appointing former midfielder Michael Carrick as interim manager, with negotiations reportedly at the final stage ahead of the Manchester derby.
Sources close to the club indicate that an agreement has been reached in principle, with Carrick accepting all conditions offered by the Old Trafford hierarchy. Only a final green light from the club is said to be pending before the appointment is officially confirmed.
Carrick, who previously served as part of United’s coaching staff and briefly took charge as interim boss in 2021, is expected to return to the dugout this week if the deal is completed in time. His appointment would see him lead the Red Devils into the highly anticipated Manchester derby.
The potential return of the former England international has generated excitement among fans, with many hopeful that his familiarity with the club and dressing room could bring immediate stability during a critical period.
An official announcement is expected once final approval is granted by the club’s leadership.
