Paul Scholes says there is one manager ‘streets ahead’ of other candidates when it comes to replacing Michael Carrick at Manchester United.

Carrick remains in charge of the Red Devils, but after a nightmare start to the season he is not expected to last much longer in the job.

A 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday made it eight matches without a win and one victory in eight Premier League outings.

Performances and results have been awful, while there has also been off-field controversy, with Lisandro Martinez speaking out against the club’s hierarchy and club captain Bruno Fernandes criticising Carrick and his coaching staff.
