Carrick to bring in Holland as assistant at Man Utd

Michael Carrick has agreed to become Manchester United interim head coach - and former England assistant manager Steve Holland is set to be his number two.

Jonathan Woodgate, Jonny Evans and Travis Binnion will also be part of Carrick's staff.

Former United and England midfielder Carrick agreed a deal on Monday night, with an announcement due on Tuesday once the necessary paperwork has been signed.

United sacked Ruben Amorim after 14 months on 5 January and Darren Fletcher took charge as caretaker boss for two matches.

Carrick will be in the dugout for Saturday's Premier League derby against Manchester City at Old Trafford.

The 44-year-old previously had a three-game stint as United's temporary boss after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dismissal in 2021.
