Departing Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has recently been mentioned as a potential challenger, but his limited resume isn’t enough to topple Carrick’s solid work since January.

So, according to the Guardian journalist Jamie Jackson, Man Utd will offer their former midfielder a new contract.

The source explains how the Wallsend native has also formed a strong rapport with everyone at the club, including the club directors and the players.

In fact, Burt claims MUFC captain Bruno Fernandes, former skipper Harry Maguire, and Matheus Cunha all argued in Carrick’s favour during private deliberations with the management.

Why Carrick is the best choice for United

With United finally operating like a functional team, few would argue against giving Carrick the nod.

During his short period in charge, the West Ham United youth product has managed to take the best out of several players who were struggling either for form or playing time under Amorim, the likes of Kobbie Mainoo and Benjamin Sesko.

Moreover, the 44-year-old has been emphasising the importance of the club’s academy through concrete action, making sure to attend as many matches as he possibly can for United’s various age groups.

All in all, Carrick has been ticking all the right boxes, and the management has no reason to deny him a well-deserved opportunity.
