MU compiles a list of 4 candidates to replace Carrick.

Manchester United experienced a rare period of improvement under interim manager Michael Carrick, but that wasn't enough to guarantee the former midfielder a long-term role at Old Trafford.

MU did not choose Carrick for the long-term position.

According to the BBC , the Manchester United leadership has already drawn up a shortlist of four potential candidates for the head coach position, as they remain committed to a "structured and cautious" appointment process.

Manchester United's leadership maintains a cautious approach. Following Amorim's departure, the club wants to conduct a comprehensive evaluation process, considering multiple candidates before making a final decision. And to date, that plan remains unchanged.

Among the names mentioned, Thomas Tuchel stands out. The German strategist had discussions with MU both before and after the 2024 FA Cup final, a time when Erik ten Hag's future was still uncertain.

Tuchel currently manages the England national team and his contract runs until the 2026 World Cup. If appointed, Tuchel would likely only be able to arrive at Old Trafford after the summer. This could affect Manchester United's pre-season preparations.

MU highly values ​​coach Tuchel.

In addition, Mauricio Pochettino (head coach of the US national team) continues to be a target. The Argentinian coach has been considered many times but has never been the final choice.

Two other names that are highly regarded are Carlo Ancelotti (Brazil national team coach) and Julian Nagelsmann (Germany national team coach).

While speculation continued, Carrick focused entirely on the task at hand. The temporary change immediately yielded positive results.

MU successively defeated Man City, Arsenal, and Fulham. Three consecutive wins, along with an energetic style of play, helped Carrick score major points with the fans.

Highlights Arsenal 2-3 Manchester United: In the early hours of January 26th, MU continued to surprise by defeating Arsenal 3-2 at the Emirates Stadium in the 23rd round of the Premier League.
