Surprise update on Michael Carrick’s chances of landing the Manchester United job permanently

Michael Carrick is reportedly still not the favourite to be named Manchester United manager permanently once his spell as interim comes to an end this summer.

The 44-year-old has impressed since taking over as Man Utd head coach on a temporary basis until the end of the season, making an unbeaten start with three wins and a draw from his first four games in charge.

This has led to some calls for Carrick to be given the job permanently, but Sky Sports report that he’s still not a leading candidate.
