Manchester United did not explicitly say it, but Michael Carrick signing a contract to the end of the 2027–28 season means he is the manager the club has entrusted to bring ‘Project 150’ to life.
It was a target that chief executive Omar Berrada announced in the early weeks of last season, a vision to become Premier League champions to coincide with—or before—the club marks the 150th anniversary of its 1878 foundation in a railway depot in north-east Manchester. The same goal also applies for the women’s team seeking its maiden WSL title.
