Manchester United are reportedly set to appoint Michael Carrick as permanent head coach after his successful spell as interim manager. Carrick guided the club back into the Champions League and oversaw a dramatic turnaround following Ruben Amorim’s departure earlier this year. United’s hierarchy were impressed after Carrick delivered major victories against Arsenal and Manchester City while maintaining consistent results throughout the season. Reports claim he will receive an initial two-year contract with an option for a third year at Old Trafford.
