Man United have named Michael Carrick as their interim head coach until the end of the season and are ready to support him during the ongoing winter transfer window. They could do with a new midfielder having tried to sign Carlos Baleba from Brighton & Hove Albion last summer. As Jacobs pointed out, there are no guarantees that Man United will end up signing the player in question, but enquiries have been made.
