Michael Carrick's future at Man Utd is about to be decided.

TPO - Manchester United's leadership is ready to open formal negotiations with Michael Carrick to appoint him as head coach.

Manchester United's leadership has identified Michael Carrick as the sole name they want to prioritize in negotiations for the permanent manager position. This information was confirmed by the Telegraph and other reputable English newspapers on the evening of May 13th ( Hanoi time).

The unwavering support from the players, skillful media handling, and deep understanding of Manchester United's rich history are all positive attributes that put Carrick ahead of the list of potential candidates for the long-term managerial hot seat at MU. After leading MU back to the Champions League and achieving the highest points total in the Premier League since the change of head coach, Carrick completely convinced the MU board.

In 15 matches managing MU, he led the Red Devils to 10 wins, 3 draws, and only 2 losses. Qualifying for the Champions League is crucial for MU at this stage, providing a huge financial boost, estimated at £100 million for the 2026/27 season. This progress will give MU a better chance of recruiting star players in the summer transfer window.

MU will open negotiations to finalize the contract in the next few days. Carrick is willing to commit to a long-term future at Old Trafford, so the negotiations between the two sides are expected to conclude quickly. MU's management also wants to finalize the manager position soon so that Carrick can begin his work during this summer's transfer window.

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has urged the club to quickly sign a contract extension for Carrick. According to Rooney, no one is more suitable than the former England midfielder, given his understanding of the club, his ability to control the dressing room, and his proven on-field record. MU players such as Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, and Kobbie Mainoo have expressed their support and absolute faith in Carrick.

Sources from MEN reveal that the atmosphere in the Manchester United dressing room has improved significantly compared to the eras of Ruben Amorim and Erik Ten Hag. Carrick manages the team in a more moderate way, thus winning the hearts of the majority. As a legend of Old Trafford, Carrick's voice carries much more weight than his predecessors. The connection between Carrick and the Manchester United youth academy system is also highly regarded.
