Manchester United confirm Michael Carrick appointment
Michael Carrick has been confirmed as Manchester United head coach on a deal until the end of the season.
The former Red Devils midfielder, club captain and first-team coach returns to Old Trafford after Ruben Amorim was sacked last Monday following an acrimonious end to 14 underwhelming months in charge.
Carrick has been chosen to lead United ahead of ex-boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who had also been in talks with chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox about the role.
The 44-year-old briefly stepped in as caretaker manager after the Norwegian was sacked in November 2021 and starts his second stint in the hotseat with Saturday’s derby clash against Manchester City at Old Trafford.
