Michael Carrick relishing Thomas Frank reunion ahead of Man Utd-Tottenham clash

Michael Carrick finds himself up against Thomas Frank just five months on from interviewing the Tottenham boss as Manchester United’s head coach hunts a fourth win on the bounce.

The 44-year-old has enjoyed a dream start to his reign for the remainder of the campaign, with wins against Manchester City and Arsenal followed by last Sunday’s thrilling 3-2 victory against Fulham.

Carrick’s former club Spurs provide the next test on Saturday lunchtime, when the United boss will share the Old Trafford touchline with a coach he interviewed ahead of Frank’s first Champions League game.
