Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has enjoyed a phenomenal start to his current tenure at Old Trafford, and Fabrizio Romano has shared an update on him being appointed on a permanent basis.
Carrick was brought to Old Trafford back in January to replace Ruben Amorim, with the former United midfielder signing a deal until the end of the season.
After an excellent start, Carrick might be hoping to be offered the permanent role, with the Red Devils unbeaten in their opening seven matches, winning six of them.
Carrick is certainly doing his chances no harm, but INEOS will be working on potential targets in case things turn sour under the former Middlesbrough boss.
United have now climbed up to third place in the Premier League table, and considering Carrick's main target will have been to finish in the Champions League spots, INEOS must be considering a permanent appointment.
