Sky Sports' Lewis Jones:
It's Michael Carrick to Manchester United permanently then?
For a club desperately searching for stability, handing the keys to a former player with strong emotional ties to Old Trafford feels like a move driven by nostalgia over cold analysis.
When you dig into the numbers behind Carrick's interim spell, there are enough warning signs flashing to make any punter think twice before buying into the hype.
Results? Excellent. Process? Far less convincing.
Carrick has won 10 of his 15 Premier League games in charge this season, collecting 33 points from a possible 45. Only Manchester City have earned more points in that period and no side has won more matches.
Those numbers scream progress. But dig deeper and it becomes much harder to argue Manchester United are building anything sustainable.
The most revealing metric is expected goals supremacy - the difference between xG created and xG conceded. Under Carrick, United are operating at just +0.1 xG per 90 minutes. That's virtually identical to Ruben Amorim's reign before him, suggesting very little has fundamentally changed in terms of overall performance level.
Across the last eight Premier League matches, only already-relegated Wolves and Burnley own a worse xG supremacy figure than Manchester United at -0.3 per 90. That's a massive red flag for a team supposedly moving in the right direction. I'm happy to take Forest on the double chance to avoid defeat at 5/4 with Sky Bet.
