Carrick to be confirmed as interim manager on Tuesday
Darren Fletcher returns to job with United’s under-18s

Michael Carrick has handed Steve Holland and Jonathan Woodgate roles on his staff at Manchester United. Carrick will be confirmed on Tuesday as the club’s interim manager until the end of the season and four spots on his backroom team have been filled.

Holland was the assistant to Gareth Southgate with England and more recently the manager of the Japanese club Yokohama F Marinos, who sacked him last April. Woodgate coached alongside Carrick at Middlesbrough and had a spell there and at Bournemouth as manager. Retained on the staff after working with Darren Fletcher are Travis Binnion, who was promoted from his role as under-21s lead coach, and Jonny Evans.

Today’s rumours are misty-eyed

The fun has only just begun at Old Trafford where Michael Carrick will become the head coach until the end of the season. As someone who knows a thing or two about central midfielders, Carrick will immediately realise Manchester United are desperately in need of one. Al-Hilal’s Rúben Neves is on the radar, as is Atlético Madrid’s Marcos Llorente. The 30-year-old is valued at £30m, leaving Jason Wilcox and chums plenty to ponder.

There are, supposedly, admirers of Sassuolo’s Tarik Muharemovic at United but if they really want to acquire the centre-back’s services they will need to overcome competing interest from Tottenham and Newcastle.
