Manchester United<\/b> have reached an agreement with Michael Carrick to become the club’s permanent head coach.<\/b><\/p>\n

The formal process of exchanging contracts is now under way, with an announcement expected inside the next 48 hours.<\/p>\n

As things stand there is some doubt over whether the formalities can be completed before Sunday’s match against Nottingham Forest, but there is a will to have it done in time for the club’s final home game of the season.<\/p>\n

Carrick will sign an initial two-year deal with the option of an additional 12 months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Carrick has overseen a vast improvement at Old Trafford since replacing Ruben Amorim, who was sacked in January, successfully leading the club to Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n

His impressive body of work since his interim appointment has put the 44-year-old in pole position to become the club’s next permanent boss.<\/p>\n

United’s executive leadership team, that includes chief executive officer Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox, has recommended to club owners Ineos that Carrick be handed the reins on a full-time basis – which has been passed by the hierarchy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
