Ongoing negotiations follow recommendations from chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox to minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, signaling that Carrick's transition to permanent successor for Ruben Amorim is likely imminent.

A significant portion of players support Carrick for the permanent position, and most fans agree the ex-United and England midfielder deserves it after securing Champions League qualification next season by winning 10 of his 15 Premier League matches in charge.

Manchester United require just one point from their last two league fixtures to lock in third place.

The 44-year-old coach has made a six-man shortlist for the Premier League's Manager of the Season honor.

Carrick, confirming that 34-year-old Brazilian midfielder Casemiro will feature in his Old Trafford send-off, plans to uphold the tradition set by his former manager Sir Alex Ferguson by speaking to fans after the Nottingham Forest match.

"That's important anyway," he stated. "The supporters form a huge part of this club.

"We thank them for the season - the last four months for me personally.

"Regardless of that, for what we've endured and that bond, which the players have sensed, it's vital for me to express gratitude to the fans."
