Manchester United have reached an agreement in principle to appoint Michael Carrick as interima manager until the end of the season, reports said on Tuesday.
The club great was pictured arriving at the Red Devils’s Carrington training ground, with his appointment soon to be made official.
Carrick previously had an unbeaten three-game stint as caretaker boss at Old Trafford in 2021.
The 44-year-old, who won 12 major trophies in his 12-year playing career at United, was appointed manager of Middlesbrough in October 2022.
Carrick guided Middlesbrough to the Championship play-offs in his first season in charge but was dismissed in June after the club finished 10th in the second tier.
The Red Devils dismissed Ruben Amorim last week after a dismal 14-month stint under the Portuguese coach.
Caretaker boss Darren Fletcher oversaw a 2-2 draw against lowly Burnley in the Premier League and a 2-1 defeat to Brighton in the FA Cup.
