Manchester United have reportedly offered Michael Carrick a permanent contract to remain at Old Trafford, but only for the next two years.
Carrick initially took over his former side in January on a short-term deal until the end of the 2025–26 season. After Ruben Amorim paved the way for his own fiery exit and Darren Fletcher flailed as the short-term stop-gap, the club’s former midfielder was thrust into the dugout while a permanent boss was sought after. As it transpired, Carrick’s second interim spell has gone so well that United have been compelled to offer the 44-year-old a full-time position.
