training session after his appointment as head coach

GARY NEVILLE says Manchester United cannot consider keeping Michael Carrick as head coach beyond the end of the season as Roy Keane called on his former club to go for the "best of the best".

Ruben Amorim's sacking last week - after 14 underwhelming and increasingly-acrimonious months - saw Darren Fletcher temporarily parachuted in before another ex-Red Devils midfielder took the reins.

Carrick was named United head coach for the remainder of the season on Tuesday and co-owners Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Joel Glazer and Avram Glazer are reportedly at the Carrington training complex on Thursday.

It is understood the club moved their scheduled executive committee to Manchester to ensure leadership are onsite to support the new boss and minimise disruption ahead of his first game.
