Alex Scott: Man United boss Michael Carrick weighs in on Bournemouth star
Manchester Unitedâs efforts to bolster their midfield this summer are ramping up, with Michael Carrick now playing a key role in the process as the interim boss is set to be handed the job permanently.
Carrick is at the wheel
An executive meeting is scheduled this week in which sporting director Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada will lay out the case for Carrick to remain in charge to Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
The former midfielder has exceeded his brief of securing Champions League football â a feat he achieved with three games to spare â by transforming the mood around Old Trafford.
The winter period was a dark one for United, with poor performances on the pitch matched by fractious arguments off it, which ultimately led to Ruben Amorimâs dismissal after a complete breakdown in his relationship with the hierarchy. But light has returned to the Theatre of Dreams since Carrick took the reins from the prickly Portuguese, with the team boasting the best run of form in England during his tenure.
Kobbie Mainoo has been brought back in from the cold to sign a five-year deal, while Bruno Fernandes looks similarly ready to commit his future to the club after his best season in a red shirt.
