Manchester United are set to announce Michael Carrick as the club's interim manager within the next 48 hours after talks progressed, Daily Mail Sport understands.
The former player was in the city today finalising a deal which will see him take charge at Old Trafford for the remainder of the season, following the sacking of Ruben Amorim.
It is thought that talks are now focussing on Carrick's backroom staff. It is now unlikely an announcement will be made today with some details still to be ironed out.
However, the hope is that Carrick and his team will be in place to oversee training on Wednesday when United's players return following a two-day break.
