"Manchester United have taken care of their managerial situation for the time being, with Michael Carrick signing up as interim head coach until the end of the season. United sacked Ruben Amorim in the middle of what would have been his first full season in charge, with the former Red Devils midfield player and ex-Middlesbrough boss, who ranked no.12 FourFourTwo's list of the best English midfielders ever, taking the helm."
"The presence and dispersal of a so-called bomb squad' under Amorim means that there's a handful of players on United's books but playing elsewhere who might be watching developments with interest. You may like United's efforts to unburden Amorim of unwanted players led to four big names leaving the club on loan for the 2025-26 season. Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund and Andre Onana are all playing abroad, while Jadon Sancho is still in the Premier League with Aston Villa."
"It's been reported that goalkeeper Onana, whose failure to live up to expectations at United has been stark, believes a new manager could offer him a second chance. Former United boss Ruben Amorim (Image credit: Getty Images) Onana joined United from Inter Milan in the summer of 2023 but an upgrade became a priority after two substandard seasons. He moved on loan to Turkish side Trabzonspor for 2025-26."
Michael Carrick will serve as interim Manchester United head coach until the end of the season. Ruben Amorim was sacked partway through what would have been his first full campaign. A group of fringe players described as a 'bomb squad' were dispersed and several were sent out on loan for 2025–26. Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund and Andre Onana are playing abroad, while Jadon Sancho is on loan at Aston Villa. Andre Onana joined from Inter Milan in summer 2023, struggled across two seasons, moved on loan to Trabzonspor for 2025–26, and United intend to pursue a permanent departure.
