Former Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick is all set to take over as the interim manager. Reports suggest that an agreement, in principle, has been reached for him to lead the club until the end of the 2025–26 season. The official announcement is expected in a day or two.
Amorim was sacked on January 5, after just 14 months and just 24 wins in 63 games, with a win percentage of 31.9 per cent.
A club legend, Carrick emerged as a frontrunner after interview of candidates, including former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær. Interestingly, he was part of the support staff when Solskjær was the coach, before the latter was sacked in 2021.
Carrick played as a midfielder at Old Trafford from 2006 to 2018, winning 10 to 12 major trophies, including five Premier League titles and the Champions League.
