When can we expect an official Man Utd announcement?

How did we get here?

It doesn't feel like 10 minutes since Carrick was the toast of Old Trafford decision makers, after replacing Ruben Amorim in January and putting together an incredible run of form to earn the permanent job.

Like his former teammate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Carrick was hired as an interim - but could not be overlooked for the full-time job, despite his lack of experience in the dugout.

But with just one win fron 10 Premier League games this season, United have been forced into action yet again. Pochettino, if as is expected, is hired, he will inherit a team in the relegation zone.
