Michael Carrick has officially began his tenure as Manchester United’s interim head coach at Carrington.
Tasked with rescuing a season that has seen United slide to seventh, Carrick's first assignment is a daunting Manchester Derby against Man City this Sunday.
Reports from the training ground suggest Carrick is prioritizing "midfield stability and compactness," with a predicted XI that may see some high-profile stars dropped in favor of a more pragmatic approach.
Carrick, who won five titles as a United player, is viewed as the "safe pair of hands" to navigate a difficult period.
