Manchester United caretaker manager Michael Carrick has opened up about the current situation of the club as Ralf Rangnick nears arrival.

For two consecutive games, Michael Carrick has been in charge of Manchester United and so far, it appears that he has been doing quite alright.

Ralf Rangnick is set to take over the Red Devils as the official interim manager but according to a statement from the club, his working permit is still being processed.

Commenting on the subject, Carrick admitted outright that he has nothing to update the media with as he has not spoken to Rangnick yet. The caretaker boss added that if there's one thing he is sure about, it is that Manchester United has made some improvements since the humiliating loss to Watford.

“Literally, I haven't really got anything to update you on,” Carrick said via Manchester Evening News. “Apart from the work permit process is ongoing now as we speak and I'm in this position as I was for Villarreal and Chelsea, getting the boys ready for the game tomorrow night.”

“Have I spoken to him? No,” he admitted. “It's pretty much as it was when I said there, about both games we've already been to, because of the process and the work permit we haven't been able to. So we've carried on as we have done, it's worked well for the last two games and, hopefully, it works well tomorrow.”

As it stands, Manchester United still has not won a single English Premier League match since Solskjaer's dismissal. The club will be hoping to claim one when it faces Arsenal on Thursday.
