"Manchester United" is expected to announce who will lead the team until the end of this season.

In the last two matches, the "Red Devils" were managed by Darren Fletcher, who drew with "Burnley" in the Premier League and was eliminated from the FA Cup at home against "Brighton" on Sunday.

Although it was reported that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would likely return to the helm of "Man Utd," it seems the Norwegian may not get a second chance.

Sky Sports reported on Monday that, at least for now, the club's executives are leaning more towards the candidacy of another former player, Michael Carrick.

However, there is currently no consensus within the club, and O.G. Solskjaer also has his supporters.

Earlier, it was reported that both of these strategists could be part of the coaching staff.
