Senior officials at Manchester United are reportedly preparing to recommend Michael Carrick to minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe as the club’s next permanent manager, following his strong spell as interim boss.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Carrick, 44, has emerged as the frontrunner after guiding United back into Champions League qualification form. Although the club initially intended to wait until the end of the season before deciding on a long-term replacement for Ruben Amorim—who was dismissed in January—the process has now been fast-tracked.
According to The Athletic, chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox are both in support of Carrick’s appointment and are expected to formally put forward their recommendation to Ratcliffe this week. If approved, negotiations for a permanent deal would begin.
Carrick’s results in charge have significantly strengthened his case. He has recorded 10 wins in 15 matches, losing only twice, and has lifted United from seventh to third place in the Premier League, securing Champions League qualification. Since taking over on 13 January, United have collected 33 league points—more than any other top-flight club during the same period.
His tenure started strongly with victories over Manchester City and Arsenal, followed by a four-match winning streak. Although a seven-game unbeaten run ended in March, key wins against Aston Villa, Chelsea and Liverpool helped secure a top-four finish.
United were in poor form when Amorim departed after reported disagreements over tactics and results. Carrick, who also previously served as interim manager following Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s exit in 2021, has since restored stability and earned praise internally for his work on youth development and long-term squad planning. Several players are also believed to support his continuation in the role.
Other managerial options had been considered, but Thomas Tuchel has decided to remain with England, while Luis Enrique remains committed to Paris Saint-Germain.
United will wrap up their season with a home match against Nottingham Forest on May 17, followed by an away fixture against Brighton on May 24, after which a final decision on the managerial position is expected.
