Michael Carrick provided an update on his future at Manchester United amid reports that the club offered him a deal to become permanent manager. He took charge until the end of the campaign after Ruben Amorim was sacked in January, with the club sixth in the table. Carrick then guided the team to an unlikely Champions League qualification, recording 12 wins in 17 matches. Speculation followed about whether he would be appointed full-time rather than United hiring another manager. Reports claimed United offered Carrick a two-year contract, with approval from co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Carrick said the situation was clear, that nothing had changed, and that his future would be decided soon.
"Michael Carrick has issued an update on his future at Manchester United after reports emerged that the Red Devils had offered him a deal to become the club's permanent manager. The former England midfielder took over the reins until the end of the campaign from Ruben Amorim, who was sacked in January with the club sixth in the table. Carrick has since led his former club to an unlikely Champions League qualification, guiding them to 12 wins in his 17 games in charge."
"It has led to plentiful speculation about whether he will be handed the role on a full-time basis beyond the summer, instead of United hiring another manager. The Athletic reported on Friday that United had offered Carrick a two-year contract to remain as the club's head coach, with co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe believed to have given his approval to the idea presented by sporting director Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada."
"The situation is pretty clear for us all. Same as in preparing for the game. It's a unique football club, a special club. Immensely proud to have come back and been a part of it, as a supporter and ex-player, as a pure supporter to be in a position to come back and help and move forward was important. To make a big step, and back in the Champions League is good, we're happy with the work we've done so far."
"The future for me is going to be decided pretty soon, we knew that. Nothing has changed, there is no big swing on that."
