""Having the responsibility to lead Manchester United is an honour," Carrick told the club's official website. "I know what it takes to succeed here. "My focus is now on helping the players to reach the standards that we expect at this incredible club, which we know that this group is more than capable of producing. "I have worked with a number of the players already and have obviously continued to watch the team closely in recent years."
""I have total belief in their talents, dedication and ability to be successful here. "There is still a lot to fight for this season. We are ready to pull everyone together and give the fans the performances that their loyal support deserves.""
Michael Carrick has been appointed Manchester United interim head coach for the remainder of the 2025/26 season following Ruben Amorim's dismissal earlier this month. Darren Fletcher briefly took temporary charge, overseeing a 2-2 Premier League draw with Burnley and an FA Cup third-round exit to Brighton. Carrick signed a contract through the end of the season and expressed confidence in the squad's talent and dedication while committing to restore expected standards and deliver performances for supporters. The 44-year-old won 12 major trophies in 12 years at Old Trafford, made 464 appearances, previously coached under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, served as caretaker manager in November 2021, and was Middlesbrough head coach from October 2022 to June 2025.
