Manchester United are set to make a decision on their interim manager on Monday, with Michael Carrick now seen as a strong contender after face-to-face talks, according to GIVEMESPORT correspondent Ben Jacobs and talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook.
The Red Devils are in the market for a new manager after sacking Ruben Amorim earlier this month. Darren Fletcher has been in charge of late as caretaker manager, but United are looking to appoint a new interim manager for the remainder of the season.
GIVEMESPORT sources confirmed earlier this week that both Carrick and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer were open to returning to Old Trafford, with the former also willing to be the latter's assistant. Both former players were set to hold talks with the United hierarchy, and they are now close to making a decision

According to Crook and Jacobs, United are expected to make a decision on their interim manager on Monday. Solskjaer was originally viewed as the front-runner, but after face-to-face talks, Carrick is now emerging as a strong contender to take over at Old Trafford.
It's claimed there has been a 'twist' with the managerial situation, while United are hoping to make a decision tomorrow in order to give the new boss plenty of time to prepare the team ahead of the Manchester derby next week.
