Trusted journalist Ben Jacobs reported that Michael Carrick has become the leading candidate to take on the role of interim manager at Manchester United, following the recent departure of coach Rúben Amorim.

According to the source, Carrick met with the English club's management last week, and Manchester United hopes to finalize the procedures today, with the official announcement of the interim coach expected within the next 48 hours.

In the same context, reports indicated that Ole Gunnar Solskjær also held face-to-face meetings with club officials as part of ongoing consultations regarding the next phase.

The sources confirmed that Darren Fletcher will not be appointed as the interim head coach, but there is a strong possibility that he will continue as part of the first team's coaching staff in the upcoming period.
