Manchester United Plan to Hire Michael Carrick as Permanent Coach
Carrick has guided Manchester United to third place and Champions League qualification during his interim spell, prompting the club to pursue a permanent appointment.
- Manchester United are preparing a two-year contract offer to interim manager Michael Carrick for the head coach role, with chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox expected to recommend his appointment to co-owner Jim Ratcliffe.
- Carrick returned to Old Trafford in January following Ruben Amorim's sacking and proved a unifying figure after Amorim's turbulent reign, earning immediate praise for securing Champions League qualification.
- His record includes 10 wins in 15 games—the most points in the Premier League—and after a 3-2 victory over Liverpool last week, Carrick said managing United felt 'natural,' with players including Amad Diallo, Matheus Cunha and Casemiro publicly backing his appointment.
- Contract talks could be concluded by the end of the week, with sources telling ESPN that Carrick's permanent appointment could be announced before Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest, United's last home game.
- Assistant Steve Holland and coaches Jonathan Woodgate and Jonny Evans are set to receive new contracts alongside Carrick, positioning him as United's bid to end a Premier League title drought since Sir Alex Ferguson's 2013 departure.
