Man United squad pick side in Solskjaer vs Carrick interim manager race - report

Interim coach Darren Fletcher is set to vacate his position this week, with Manchester United expected to announce a new interim manager in the coming days.

Club legend Michael Carrick is reportedly the favourite, although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is still in the running, after holding face-to-face talks with the United hierarchy.

ESPN have added weight to reports that Carrick is the frontrunner, claiming the former Middlesbrough boss has significant backing from members of the current playing squad.
