Carrick not in contact with Rangnick for Arsenal clash

Michael Carrick

Manchester United caretaker manager Michael Carrick says he has not spoken to incoming interim boss Ralf Rangnick as he prepares to take charge of a third match at home to Arsenal on Thursday.

United confirmed the appointment of Rangnick as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's short-term replacement this week but the German is still to receive a work permit.

That means Carrick remains in charge for the clash with the Gunners which could have a huge bearing on the final race for a place in the Premier League top four.

"I haven't got anything to update on. The process of the work permit and visa is ongoing as we speak," said Carrick on Wednesday.

"I am in this position, as I was for Villarreal and Chelsea. I'm getting the boys ready for the game tomorrow night."
