Overview
- Michael Carrick said his focus is the club’s long-term picture rather than his own status.
- Manchester United have eight wins and two draws in 12 under him and sit third in the Premier League.
- Six points from the final five matches would confirm a return to the Champions League after two seasons out.
- Carrick said he is not chasing a deadline for a decision on whether he keeps the role.
- Reporters say he is the frontrunner and that INEOS aims to finish the process in late April or early May, though other reporting says Sir Jim Ratcliffe is cautious about making the appointment permanent.
