"Twenty years after Carrick joined the club as a player, the deal, which includes the former midfielder's proposed staff, has been finalised and a verbal agreement reached. Carrick's first game in charge will be against rivals Manchester City on Saturday at Old Trafford. It is understood that Carrick will bring in former England assistant manager Steve Holland, with Jonathan Woodgate, Jonny Evans and Travis Binnion also forming his backroom staff."
"The process of appointing an interim coach has been led by director of football Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada. Sign-off was required by co-owner Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family, and attentions will turn to bringing in a permanent successor to Ruben Amorim, who was sacked on January 5, now that the caretaker role has been finalised. TalkSPORT reported that Alex Ferguson backed Carrick for the role."
