"Michael Carrick was appointed as a temporary head coach solution at Manchester United, following the sacking of Ruben Amorim. However, he has started extremely well, beating both Premier League contenders (Manchester City and Arsenal), followed by a victory over Fulham as well. Even though United are expected to go for an established name in the managerial world of football in the summer, they will be forced to consider appointing Carrick permanently as well, if the former midfielder continues doing the job as well as he started."
""United have got a problem where Michael Carrick is doing too well" 👀 Will Manchester United turn to Michael Carrick in the summer outside of other candidates? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/iOEnRtIFNa - Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) February 7, 2026"
Michael Carrick was appointed as a temporary head coach at Manchester United after Ruben Amorim's sacking. He has beaten Premier League contenders Manchester City and Arsenal and followed with a win over Fulham. United are expected to pursue an established managerial name in the summer, but sustained strong results under Carrick would compel the club to consider him for a permanent appointment. Continued high performance by the former midfielder would create a selection dilemma between external candidates and an in-house solution. Media coverage framed the situation as United having 'a problem where Michael Carrick is doing too well.'
