Carrick Emerges Leading Candidate for Man United Caretaker Role
Former Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has emerged as the leading contender to take over as the club’s caretaker head coach following recent changes in the technical crew.
Discussions between Carrick and the club are understood to be at an advanced stage, with the club keen to have a temporary appointment in place ahead of the team’s return to full training.
Carrick previously served as interim manager during a short spell several seasons ago, overseeing a brief unbeaten run before stepping aside after a permanent appointment was made.
The club recently ended the tenure of its head coach, placing a senior staff member in temporary charge while evaluating options for a caretaker role.
Carrick’s deep familiarity with the club, both as a former player and coach, is seen as a key advantage as management looks to restore stability in the short term.
Although his managerial experience is considered more limited compared to some alternatives, club officials value his understanding of the dressing room and the club’s culture during a transitional period.
