Manchester United is set to face Liverpool, aiming to secure Champions League football and complete a double victory. Michael Carrick has impressed since taking over, with a return to the Champions League almost certain. Kobbie Mainoo has signed a new contract, but with potential departures like Casemiro, the summer transfer window could be busy. The managerial position is also a key focus. Carrick is a strong contender for the permanent role, with calls for a top-tier manager also being considered. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Carrick is the 'clear favourite' due to the positive impact he's had on and off the pitch, impressing Sir Jim Radcliffe's INEOS group. While a final decision is pending and other candidates are being assessed, Carrick is in a leading position. United is also reportedly monitoring midfielder Danilo from Botafogo. Interest has been expressed, and a fee of £34 million would be needed. This is currently described as an inquiry rather than a formal move.
