The 45‑year‑old takes over with United who are placed sixth in the Premier League.

The Caretaker Manager says Manchester United is in his heart and it is brilliant to be coming back in this role.

He adds that this is an opportunity he had to take.

Meanwhile, in the Carabao Cup matches this morning, Arsenal will take on Tottenham while Chelsea will play Bournemouth.

Both matches are scheduled to begin at 8.45am.
