According to Rob Dorsett from Sky Sports News, there is also the possibility that both men could be involved in the coaching set-up during this transition period.
There are currently no meetings planned for today, with the club’s immediate focus being very much on football matters.
Man United prepare for their trip to Burnley, while tonight also marks an important moment internally as Darren Fletcher oversees his first match on the sidelines.
Talks on the interim position are expected to accelerate later this week once these immediate commitments are out of the way.
Man United is in the process of appointing an interim manager
Following Amorim’s sacking, Man United have made it clear that appointing an interim manager is their short-term priority.
The club’s hierarchy is determined not to rush into a new permanent appointment given the instability caused by frequent management changes in recent years.
Instead, United want a stable and trusted presence to guide the team through the rest of the season.
Both Solskjær and Carrick are seen internally as figures who understand the club’s culture, expectations and pressures.
A former manager and club legend, Solskjær maintains strong relationships behind the scenes and is widely respected by supporters for his deep connection to the club’s identity.
Carrick, meanwhile, is highly regarded for his coaching acumen and calm authority, having previously impressed during a brief spell as caretaker and in subsequent roles away from Old Trafford.
It is expected that a permanent manager will take office in the summer
United’s plan is to be under interim management for the remainder of the season so that the board and football department have time to carry out a thorough assessment of potential long-term suitors.
By postponing a permanent appointment until the summer, the club believes it can make a more informed decision, bringing recruitment, playing style and long-term vision under one common direction.
This approach reflects a growing realization within Old Trafford that patience is essential.
After years of reactive decisions and short-term fixes, United want to ensure the next permanent manager is chosen with clarity rather than urgency.
For now, stability, clear communication and consistency are the priorities and whether that comes through Solskjær, Carrick or a combination of both will become clearer in the coming days as talks progress.
