Manchester United has reportedly agreed to a deal in principle with Michael Carrick to serve as interim manager until the end of the 2025-26 season. The 43-year-old former player, who had a previous caretaker stint in 2021, is expected to finalize contractual details soon. Carrick previously managed Middlesbrough, guiding them to the Championship play-offs. He replaces Ruben Amorim, with Darren Fletcher having temporarily overseen recent matches. Carrick's appointment comes as United seeks to improve its current form, facing a challenging Manchester derby next.
