Papers: Carrick favourite for Man Utd job amid Iraola links
Michael Carrick is the top choice for Manchester United's manager role, with Andoni Iraola as a close competitor.
Franz Wagner will miss his second consecutive playoff game for the Orlando Magic due to a calf strain, sidelining him for Game 6 against the Detroit Pistons. The Magic lead the series 3-2 and can advance with a win.

Franz Wagner will miss his second straight game for the Orlando Magic in their NBA playoff series versus the Detroit Pistons.
Wagner has been ruled out for Friday’s Game 6 with a calf strain that also sidelined him for Game 5’s 116-109 loss in Detroit, according to the NBA’s injury report. The Magic take a 3-2 series lead in their first-round matchup with the Pistons and can close it out with a win.
If Detroit was to force a Game 7 for Sunday, it appears unlikely that Wagner would be available for that contest, as well. If Orlando finishes the series, then the question becomes whether or not Wagner can play Game 1 of a second-round matchup.
Without Wagner, the Pistons still had to fight for a seven-point win and needed 45 points from Cade Cunningham. Paolo Banchero made up for Wagner’s absence with 45 points of his own, but Orlando seemingly would have found a way to win with its second-leading scorer in the lineup.
Wagner sustained his calf injury late in Monday’s Game 4 win over Detroit that gave Orlando a 3-1 series lead. He was considered questionable on Tuesday, but clearly wasn’t ready to go in time in Detroit.
The fifth-year forward left in the second half of Monday’s game with the injury. He spent time on a sideline exercise bike while he was considered questionable to return, but was ultimately limited to 24 minutes. Wagner told reporters after the game he was scheduled to have an MRI on Tuesday. The Magic went on to despite his injury.
Franz Wagner is missing Game 6 due to a calf strain that also kept him out of Game 5.
The Orlando Magic currently lead the series 3-2 against the Detroit Pistons.
It appears unlikely that Franz Wagner will be available for a potential Game 7 if the Pistons force one.

Wagner has averaged 16.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.8 steals during the first-round series. He’s been instrumental for the eighth-seeded Magic, who are one win away from an upset of the top-seeded Pistons in the first round.
A high-ankle sprain limited Wagner to 34 games during the regular season. But he averaged 20.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game when healthy.
In addition to Wagner being out, Jonathan Isaac (sprained left knee) is listed as questionable for the Magic. Tobias Harris (left ankle sprain) and Kevin Huerter (left adductor strain) are also questionable for the Pistons. Huerter sat out Game 6.
