A great start to his tenure
Softfootball understands that Carrick initially stepped into the role as caretaker manager until the end of the 2025/26 campaign after Ruben Amorim departed the club.
However, following a strong turnaround in results and performances, Manchester United recently confirmed a new contract for Carrick running until June 2028, with an option extending to 2029.
Supporters have reacted positively to the club’s progress under the former midfielder, particularly highlighting major victories against rivals including Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Arsenal.
Fans have also pointed to the reported point improvement compared to last season as evidence of the team’s progress under Carrick’s leadership.
The club’s resurgence has fueled growing excitement ahead of next season, with many supporters believing Carrick has restored belief, competitiveness, and stability within the squad after a difficult period earlier in the campaign.
Carrick himself has repeatedly emphasized that there is still significant work ahead, despite acknowledging the strong foundation already built through the team’s consistency, mentality, and collective commitment during the second half of the season.
