Manchester United has appointed its legendary player Michael Carrick as the interim manager until the end of this season. This decision comes after the dismissal of coach Ruben Amorim on January 5, aimed at resolving the ongoing crisis. The agreement with Carrick was finalized on January 13, 2026. The choice to bring Carrick in followed disappointing results under Darren Fletcher, leading to a decision made by Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada. Ratcliffe and the Glazers have backed this decision. Carrick, who made 464 appearances for United, brings significant experience to the role.
