"Manchester United will welcome Michael Carrick and his coaching staff to Carrington this week. The former England midfielder and long-serving Manchester United anchor has only one senior coaching role on his CV prior to his Old Trafford appointment, but left an impression at the Riverside Stadium during his three seasons in charge of Middlesbrough. Carrick returns to Manchester with experience as an assistant under Ole Gunnar Solskjr, as well as academy coaching credentials and two promotion pushes with Boro."
""Michael Carrick's first season at Middlesbrough was brilliant and they should have won promotion; the second about par and the third a disappointment," Shaw summarises. "The football on display in that first season, after he replaced Chris Wilder, was as good as Boro fans have seen in a long time. But come his final campaign, Boro were too often ponderous and predictable and their poor game management cost them again and again.""
Michael Carrick will take charge at Manchester United, arriving at Carrington with his coaching staff. The former England midfielder has limited senior managerial experience but spent three seasons managing Middlesbrough, producing a strong first season that lifted the club from relegation danger to the Championship play-offs. Middlesbrough finished fourth after Carrick's October 2022 appointment and reached the play-offs before losing in the semi-finals to Coventry City. Chuba Akpom finished the season as the division's top scorer with 29 goals, with Carrick credited for the player's development. Subsequent seasons were less consistent, with an acceptable second year and a final campaign marked by ponderous, predictable play and poor game management.
