Chris Wilder’s replacement at Middlesbrough is expected to be former Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Carrick is reportedly in early talks with the Championship team, according to Sportsmail, as he seeks to make his full-time transition into management.
The 41-year-old expressed to Boro last week that he wasn’t interested in the position.
The problems at the time were reportedly with the control of transfers and backroom personnel.
Carrick, however, is now getting closer to leading the team.
He might even be in charge of the squad when Huddersfield comes to town on Saturday. With both sides in the bottom three, this game is essential in the battle for survival.
At Old Trafford, Carrick worked for Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. As part of his coaching staff, he wants to bring Mike Phelan and Rene Muelensteen to the North-East.
