Michael Carrick insists he is fully focused on preparing Manchester United for Sunday’s game against Chelsea, with the Red Devils reportedly on the brink of appointing Ralf Rangnick.
According to reports, the 63-year-old is set to take over the reins at Old Trafford as interim manager for the remainder of this season, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer having been dismissed after last weekend’s 4-1 defeat at Watford.
The Red Devils are believed to have agreed terms with Rangnick and Lokomotiv Moscow, where he is serving as their head of sports and development.
Carrick, who was assistant to Solskjaer, oversaw United’s 2-0 win over Villarreal in the Champions League on Tuesday, and will remain in charge for this weekend’s showdown with Premier League leaders Chelsea.
And the former midfielder, who played over 450 times and won five Premier League titles at Old Trafford, has his sights firmly set on the trip to Stamford Bridge.
