"Michael is an excellent coach and knows exactly what it takes to win at Manchester United, said United's director of football Jason Wilcox, who spoke to both Carrick and Solskjaer, along with CEO Omar Berrada. He is ready to lead our talented and determined group of players for the remainder of the season as we continue to build the club towards regular and sustained success."
"Carrick is in for his second spell as United's caretaker boss. His first stint came when he stood in as head coach for three games after Solskjaer was sacked in November 2021. He had served as first-team coach at Old Trafford under both Solskjaer and predecessor Jose Mourinho after retiring from playing in 2018, having made 464 appearances for United across a 12-year stint and won a glut of major silverware including five Premier League titles and the Champions League."
"With United already out of both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, and with no European football at all this term, Carrick's sole focus will be on improving their league position. United currently sit seventh in the table, one point ahead of both Chelsea and Fulham, and one adrift of the top five with 17 matches to play. The former Middlesbrough boss will be thrown in at the deep end, hosting Manchester City in a high-profile derby clash on Saturday lunchtime."
