Solskjaer desperately wanted to return to the Manchester United manager's bench, but it didn't work out. |
According to an announcement from Old Trafford, Carrick will succeed Darren Fletcher and lead the team through a period of upheaval, with a coaching staff bolstered by experienced additions including Steve Holland, Jonathan Woodgate, Jonny Evans, and Travis Binnion.
However, there's a different story behind that choice. Sources from The Athletic indicate that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer couldn't hide his disappointment and frustration at not being given the opportunity to return to the manager's seat by the Manchester United owners.
The Norwegian strategist is reportedly ready to return, but only wants to sign a long-term contract to build a real project, rather than taking on a "stopgap" role in the final months of the season. This view is seen as a significant departure from the short-term plans pursued by the MU leadership.
Nevertheless, Solskjaer maintained a professional attitude. He was described as someone who would support Carrick. Previously, Solskjaer had repeatedly stated that Carrick possessed the ability and leadership qualities to manage the team if given the right trust at the right time.
For his part, Carrick appeared calm but determined on his inauguration day. The former midfielder emphasized that he understood the high standards at Old Trafford and that his immediate task was to quickly get the team back on track.
Carrick's first test will be the Manchester derby against Man City this weekend. Against a strong opponent, this is an opportunity for Carrick to prove that MU's choice was the right one.
