Two Manchester United icons, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick, are engaged in a competitive race to become the interim manager of the first team for the remainder of the season.
As reported by the Daily Mail, United’s chief executive Omar Berrada and the director of football Jason Wilcox both met with Solskjaer and Carrick on Tuesday.
However, a final decision will be made only after a physical meeting takes place.
In the meantime, another former Manchester United midfielder, Darren Fletcher, will oversee the team for the Premier League match against Burnley on Wednesday night.
Ruud van Nistelrooy is no longer being considered for the position at this time.
Solskjaer previously served as a temporary replacement for Jose Mourinho in December 2018, which eventually led to him managing the team for nearly three years.
Interestingly, Carrick took on the role of caretaker for three matches when Solskjaer was dismissed in November 2021.
