‎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.
