Man United make final decision on appointing Michael Carrick as permanent manager

The Red Devils have made their decision.

The interim gaffer has picked up some priceless points on the way too. Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City have all been put to the sword since he took over the departing Ruben Amorim after the 1-1 draw at Leeds United in early January.

Form has continued to be good, with the excellent Bruno Fernandes recently picking up the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year trophy for his phenomenal performances. After winning three consecutive matches, the side also drew at Sunderland, where the Stadium of Light has become a fortress this campaign.
