Michael Carrick will take charge of both his second and final game in his first spell as Manager, an unofficial interim role of course, when he leads out Man United against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Carrick was mandated with training duties shortly after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was relieved of his duties.
Having worked under Ole as the assistant, Carrick didn't need to change much for United's trip to Villareal in midweek.
The players delivered a professional performance, overcame Villareal 2:0 and sealed their place in the Champions League knockouts as group winners.
However, Chelsea is a far bigger test than Villareal and a game, given the form of both teams, that United are underdogs to win.
Ole Gunnar Solskjær and his coaching staff can all be said to be responsible for the numerous poor performances United fans have witnessed in the past few months and that includes Michael Carrick.
However, if Carrick can get at least a draw at Stamford Bridge, he'd be leaving having secured Champions knockout football for Ralf Rangnick and two morale boosting results to kick off from.
He has handled press conferences well which is both surprising because its his first stint leading out a team on a Matchday and also unsurprising given the fact he had spent years at the club and the kind of intelligent character he has always been.
If United can get victory at Stamford Bridge, then you can already call Carrick a managerial legend. While that is obviously an exaggeration, he would indeed be stepping aside with his head held high.
