Michael Carrick has beaten Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and will be appointed as Manchester United manager until the end of the season after a telling interjection from senior players

Manchester United have turned to Michael Carrick as their interim manager after senior players told club bosses they did not want Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to return.

MICHAEL CARRICK is hopeful of winning the battle to become the new caretaker coach at Manchester United. United spoke to former club captain Carrick and former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last

Former Manchester United striker and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is one of the favourites to take over at Old Trafford. The club have been on the hunt for a new manager after sacking Ruben Amorim last week.

Gary Neville’s critique following Amorim’s exit cut to the heart of the issue. “The experiments have got to stop,” he said. “Man Utd have got to appoint a manager that fits the DNA of their club.” United have repeatedly tried to bend themselves around managers rather than appointing managers who understand what United are supposed to be.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remains in line to complete a stunning return to Manchester United, with reports in his native Norway detailing what the 1999 Treble winner is set to earn if a third spell at Old Trafford is agreed.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is closing in on a sensational return to Manchester United, while Manchester City are close to announcing the signing of Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth
