Manchester United hands Michael Carrick 2-year contract as head coach
Michael Carrick won 11 of 16 matches as interim boss and lifted United into Champions League qualification after Ruben Amorim was sacked.
- On Friday, Manchester United confirmed Michael Carrick as permanent manager on a two-year contract running until 2028, with the club stating they are "delighted to announce that Michael Carrick will continue as head coach of the men."
- Carrick took interim charge in January following Ruben Amorim's dismissal, delivering Champions League qualification after lifting United from seventh to third in the Premier League.
- Since his January appointment, Carrick oversaw 11 wins in 16 matches and collected 36 points—the most of any top-flight club—earning him a Premier League Manager of the Season nomination.
- Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville praised Carrick for stabilizing the club but warned that "permanent manager comes with a different level of pressure" requiring summer recruitment.
- Fellow pundit Jamie Carragher believes the appointment is deserved but remains unconvinced Carrick can "bring the big trophies back to Old Trafford," viewing him as a steadying force.
