Manchester United have reached a deal with Michael Carrick to take over as manager until the end of the season.
It's understood the former Middlesbrough boss has verbally agreed to take over from Ruben Amorim, with official confirmation expected later today.
Carrick previously took charge of United for a brief period in 2021 following the departure of Ole Gunner Solskjaer, while he also played for the club for 12 years.
The club is hoping to finalise the appointment before players return for training tomorrow ahead of their Premier League meeting with Manchester City this weekend.
