Manchester United have appointed Michael Carrick as their interim head coach, with Steve Holland set to be his assistant manager. The 44-year-old former England midfielder will oversee the team for the remainder of the season, with an announcement expected once all necessary paperwork has been signed.
Carrick was a key player in the United dressing room during his playing career and held talks with club officials last week, impressing chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox. He is expected to implement a 4-2-3-1 system, moving away from the three-at-the-back set-up employed by sacked manager Ruben Amorim.
Steve Holland, 55, brings significant experience having worked under Gareth Southgate as England's assistant manager, including a stint at Euro 2020. He will be Carrick's right-hand man and provide a cool head in the high-pressure environment of Old Trafford.
Jonathan Woodgate, Jonny Evans, and Travis Binnion are also part of Carrick's coaching staff, with Woodgate having worked under Carrick at Middlesbrough and Evans returning to Old Trafford after two years away.

! They need a win in a hurry now, so I gotta give it 2 them. Michael Carrick's experience as a player & gaffer's gonna help 'em get back on track. Steve Holland's assistant manager gig is gonna bring some stability & calmness to the team. I'm hyped 2 see how they set up the pitch w/ that new 4-2-3-1 system 
! Travis Binnion's addition's a nice touch, he worked under Carrick at Middlesbrough, so that's some good vibes 
! Can't wait 2 see what this team's got!
. And let's be real, if anyone can get the best out of the squad at Old Trafford, it's Michael Carrick - he was always one of those players who just seemed to get on with everyone 
a new interim head coach. hopefully carrick can turn things around. his playing days should help him connect with the team, but experience is key here. 4-2-3-1 system might be a decent change of pace. holland's got some big boots to fill as assistant manager tho 
but maybe its a good idea having steve holland by his side tho he seems experienced enough to help carrick out. also i wonder if they'll be able to turn things around now that they're not playing with 3 centre backs anymore 
). It's about time United made a change after that disastrous stint under Amorim... let's hope Carrick can bring some stability and a bit of flair back to Old Trafford 
Michael Carrick is back! He was literally the heartbeat of the team when he played, so I'm hyped to see him in charge now. The 4-2-3-1 system sounds like it could be super effective too, we've seen that kind of thing work for England under Gareth Southgate 
but idk if they made the right call with holland, hes experienced but not exactly known for being super tactically clever 
still got faith in carrick tho, he was always one of the level heads on the pitch during his playing days 
! Finally, they got someone who knows what's up about the team. I mean, Ruben Amorim was straight trash for months now, and it's about time they brought in some experience. 4-2-3-1 is gonna be fire 
, can't wait to see them dismantle some teams this season! Steve Holland seems like a solid choice as assistant manager too 
, at least he's got some Euro 2020 experience under his belt 
. Now let's hope Carrick doesn't mess it up 
... like that's ever gonna work for United! They need someone with more experience at the top level and not just some veteran coach who's been around the block. And what about the players? Are they really gonna stick with Woodgate as part of Carrick's coaching staff? That dude was rubbish on the pitch, I don't see how he's gonna help them win. 
๏ธ. And what about Steve Holland? He seems like a solid choice, but will he be able to provide enough influence over Carrick's decision-making? 
. This guy's been around the block a few times, working with some of the best coaches in the game, and he's got the calm and collected vibe that's exactly what Manchester United needs right now 
.
think it's a good move for the team, but let's see how he does, i mean, they've had some issues on the pitch lately and you can't just turn things around overnight. 4-2-3-1 might be an interesting change, but we'll have to wait and see if it pays off
