Manchester United Near Two-Year Deal to Make Michael Carrick Permanent Manager

Manchester United are poised to install Michael Carrick as their full-time head coach after agreeing terms on a two-year contract that includes an optional third season.

Senior figures at the club, among them chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox, are understood to have put the appointment forward to owners Ineos for approval.

Carrick stepped into the role in January following the dismissal of Ruben Amorim and has overseen a sharp revival that carried the side into the Champions League.

Officials hope to wrap up the paperwork within the next 48 hours, with a public confirmation anticipated shortly and potentially ahead of the campaign’s closing fixture.
