Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick are set for further talks with Manchester United later this week as the club work to appoint an interim head coach.
The pair-both former United players-are understood to have held a first round of informal discussions with sporting director Jason Wilcox and are set to hold further talks, though not soon with the focus being on United's Premier League match at Burnley last night.
It is understood there could be roles for both Solskjaer and Carrick in the new backroom team. Another former Red Devils player-Darren Fletcher-led the team at Burnley.
