Man Utd unlikely to make quick Michael Carrick decision

Manchester United are unlikely to take a quick decision on Michael Carrick following his success as the interim head coach.

The 44-year-old was appointed as the caretaker manager for the remainder of the campaign after Ruben Amorim's sacking in January.

United have turned their fortunes around under him with four straight league wins and are currently in the Champions League spots.

Carrick has received plenty of praise from the fans and there have been suggestions that he should be handed the permanent job soon.

However, club legend Gary Neville has revealed that he has already spoken with the hierarchy, who are prepared to buy their time until June.

The club's board won't make a knee-jerk reaction after Carrick's exploits and could wait until the end of the season to decide on his position.

If United were to qualify for the Champions League next term, Carrick could emerge as an early favourite for the managerial role.
