Ruben Amorim was sacked last Monday after 14 underwhelming months in charge. Michael Carrick has been appointed interim manager for the remainder of the campaign and will begin with Saturday's derby against Manchester City at Old Trafford. Carrick, a former Red Devils midfielder, club captain and first-team coach, briefly served as caretaker after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's 2021 departure and made 464 appearances. United chose Carrick ahead of talks with Solskjaer and Ruud van Nistelrooy, with sources saying the choice was unanimous. The appointment aims to smooth a short-term transition and pursue objectives including Champions League qualification while a thorough search for a permanent manager continues.
