Manchester United has appointed Michael Carrick as interim manager until the end of the season, tasking him with leading the Red Devils back into the Champions League.
Carrick, 44, who won 12 major trophies in his 12-year playing career at United was confirmed as interim manager on Tuesday
The former midfielder previously had an unbeaten three-game stint as caretaker boss at Old Trafford in 2021.
Carrick then took on his first permanent managerial role at second-tier Middlesbrough in October 2022 and was sacked in June last year after the club finished 10th in the Championship.
He has a first task of preparing his men to face local rivals Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.
United are seventh in the table but are in the race to qualify for the lucrative Champions League for the first time in three seasons.
The Red Devils are three points adrift of fourth-placed Liverpool and only one point behind Brentford, in fifth spot.
