Manchester United are planning to appoint Michael Carrick as their next permanent manager and hand him an initial two-year contract, according to reports.
Man United brought their former midfielder back in January to replace Ruben Amorim until the end of the season.
Carrick has impressed at the Old Trafford club, and the Red Devils now want to make his appointment permanent.
They will also include an option to extend his deal by another 12 months in the contract with talks expected in the coming weeks.
Official talks have yet to start as Man United insist other candidates are not ruled out.
However, Carrick has been involved in recruitment meetings ahead of the summer transfer window.
The players also want him to stay beyond this season and he is expected to get the job.
He has been nominated for the Premier League’s Manager of the Season award despite overseeing just 15 Premier League games since being put in charge of the Red Devils.
Man United have qualified for next season’s Champions League after winning ten of those games.
