Michael Carrick has been appointed Manchester United head coach on a permanent basis after taking over in January and improving the team’s performance. The club confirmed Carrick has signed a two-year contract running through the summer of 2028. The appointment follows a “thorough and discreet” scouting process led by sporting director Jason Wilcox. Carrick expressed pride in leading Manchester United and credited the players’ resilience, togetherness, and determination over the past five months. No backroom staff details were confirmed, though reports indicate Steve Holland may be a key figure. The club expects Carrick’s current coaching team to be signed to contracts. Manchester United will conclude the Premier League season with a trip to Brighton and Hove Albion.
