Manchester United has appointed former midfielder Michael Carrick as interim head coach until the end of the 2025-26 season, following Ruben Amorim's dismissal in early January. Carrick, who previously served as caretaker manager in 2021 and coached Middlesbrough, will lead the team through 17 remaining games, starting with a high-profile derby against Manchester City. He was chosen over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and will be supported by a backroom staff including Steve Holland and Jonathan Woodgate.
