Michael Carrick has agreed a two-year deal to remain as Manchester United head coach, with an option year that could extend his tenure until June 2029. The former United midfielder took interim charge and secured Champions League football while recording wins over Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea.


The club hierarchy including director of football Jason Wilcox and CEO Omar Berrada backed Carrick as the permanent choice following an impressive 15-game spell in charge. A formal announcement is expected within 48 hours as the final legal details are completed.
