 Carrick favourite for Man Utd caretaker role Michael Carrick has emerged as favourite to be appointed Manchester United caretaker head coach, according to sources close to the process. Club chiefs are hoping to have an appointment in place for when players return to training on Wednesday. While a final decision is yet to be reached, talks are said to have progressed with the 44-year-old over the position. Carrick previously had a three-game stint as United's temporary boss following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dismissal in 2021. He won two and drew one of those matches but left after Ralf Rangnick's arrival as interim manager. Solskjaer held face-to-face discussions with the club on Saturday about a return. United sacked Ruben Amorim as manager after 14 months in the job on 5 January.

 CAN supports US envoy on peace talks with MACBAN


The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has backed the recent peace meeting between the United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Richard M. Mills Jnr. and Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN).

The body said it encourages open and honest dialogue among all stakeholders, both local and international, to restore peace in Nigeria. 

CAN stated that only “trusted platforms like the Nigerian Inter-Religious Council (NIREC) provide the ideal space to raise concerns and work together towards practical, sustainable solutions” to peace efforts in the troubled middle belt states. 

Ambassador Mills on Monday met with MACBAN leaders in Abuja. 

Rising from the meeting, the U.S. Embassy posted the following on its verified “X” handle: “Today, Ambassador Mills met with the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria to hear about the concerns of herder communities. The meeting included discussion of the causes of insecurity and opportunities to peacefully resolve conflict.”

Apparently, the meeting didn’t sit well with certain interest groups, with some accusing the ambassador of backing “Fulani terrorists” they alleged were killing Christians.

However, in a statement on Saturday, CAN leadership urged Nigerians from all walks of life, backgrounds, and faiths to support ongoing peace initiatives and refrain from actions that could undermine efforts to address the country’s security challenges, particularly in the Middle Belt region.

The statement, titled “CAN Backs Peace Talks to Tackle Insecurity in Middle-Belt Region,” was signed by CAN president, Archbishop Daniel Okoh. 

The Christian body appealed to Nigerians to refrain from making comments that could damage the reconciliation process. 

“Engagements with stakeholders across professional, ethnic, and religious lines are recognised diplomatic practices that foster dialogue and mutual understanding. Any actions or statements that heighten tensions risk destabilising our nation, and we therefore call for the utmost caution.

“We appeal to all citizens to refrain from spreading unverified information that may deepen divisions. The strength of our nation lies in our unity, and it is only through collective effort that we can build a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria. Let us embrace the teachings of the Holy Bible to love our neighbours and the pursue peace with all.

“CAN stands firm in condemning the brutal attacks and persistent violence inflicted upon communities in states such as Plateau, Benue and Gombe, where our brothers and sisters have endured immense suffering and loss. 

“We unequivocally reaffirm our steadfast commitment to advocating for their safety, security, and dignity. We will not relent in our pursuit of justice and lasting peace for all affected communities,” the body said.
