Friday, May 22, 2026 - Michael Carrick has been appointed Manchester United head coach on a full-time basis, the club have confirmed.
The former United midfielder, who was appointed in January
until the end of the season following the dismissal of Ruben Amorim, has been
rewarded with the full-time job after securing a return to the Champions
League.
United have won 11 of Carrick's 16 games in charge, drawing
three and losing two, in a run that started with a four-game winning streak and
resounding triumphs over Manchester City and Arsenal.
He took over with United seventh in the Premier League, but
Sunday's 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest clinched third spot with a game to
spare.
His backroom team of Steve Holland, Jonathan Woodgate, Jonny
Evans, and Travis Binnion are expected to be given new contracts.
'From the moment that I arrived here 20 years ago, I felt
the magic of Manchester United,' Carrick said.
'Carrying the responsibility of leading our special football
club fills me with immense pride.
'Throughout the past five months this group of players have
shown they can reach the standards of resilience, togetherness, and
determination that we demand here.
'Now it's time to move forward together, with ambition and a
clear sense of purpose. Manchester United and our incredible supporters deserve
to be challenging for the biggest honours again.'
