Man United Coach Tipped to Take Over as Manager of Top Scottish Club

• Rangers are in the market in search of a new manager to replace Steven Gerrard
• Gerrard departed Rangers to take over at Aston Villa after the sacking of Dean Smith
• Michael Carrick is believed to be in the frame to succeed the Liverpool legend
• Frank Lampard and John Terry have also been touted as potential candidates

Man United coach Michael Carrick has also reportedly emerged favourite to succeed Steven Gerrard at Rangers.

The Rangers job is currently vacant following the departure of Gerrard who was recently appointed Aston Villa boss.

Metro UK reports Gerrard's departure from Glasgow was marked with the exit of the majority of his backroom staff, sending Rangers back to the drawing board in the hunt for a successor.

According to the publication, the Scottish giants are expected to go down a similar route of appointing an up-and-coming player-turned-coach as the new manager.

It is believed Giovanni van Bronckhorst is currently the favourite to land the job alongside Chelsea legends John Terry and Frank Lampard.

However, it is Carrick who appears to have received a lot of the backing, with former Rangers midfielder Adam throwing him in the mix for the role.

Adam described Carrick as a "good coach" who has had the privilege of being part of a coaching staff with a big club.

"I’ll throw a name in the hat: Michael Carrick. He has been at Manchester United, a big club, good coach," Adam told the BBC’s Sportsound podcast.

Incidentally, Adam is believed to be angling to form part of Carrick's backroom staff should the former Man United midfielder land the role.

Carrick was first named part of United's backroom team when José Mourinho took over as manager.

He went on to retain the position after the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who decided to keep him.

Rodgers is believed to be United's No.1 choice to succeed embattled Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

According to The Sun, the former Liverpool boss has already begun house-hunting in Cheshire and he is looking for a family home in football's jet-set areas of Wilmslow and Alderley Edge.

The development is expected to intensify speculation the ex-Celtic manager will be taking over at Old Trafford before Christmas.
