Michael Carrick: Ornstein drops key update on Man United coach

Manchester United are preparing for another managerial upheaval as their search for Sir Alex Ferguson’s rightful heir continues. The Red Devils have had several false starts, with quite a few promising managerial reigns ending in disappointment.

INEOS have made significant changes to the squad since taking charge and are preparing for another vital transfer window ahead. However, United’s search for their next permanent manager has added further intrigue to the upcoming summer.

The Red Devils thought they had found the man to take them back to the top when they replaced former manager Erik ten Hag with Ruben Amorim in November 2024. Unfortunately, the Portuguese head coach only lasted 14 months at the Theatre of Dreams before vacating his position in January this year.

The Premier League giants opted to appoint Michael Carrick as caretaker manager until the end of the campaign, with a permanent appointment expected before the new season. However, the Englishman has done a commendable job so far, adding further spice to United’s managerial hunt.

United’s managerial dilemma

United finished 15th in the Premier League last season, and results initially failed to improve this year despite significant investment in the squad last summer. That saw Amorim lose his job, but the English giants have turned over a new leaf following Carrick’s arrival.

The Red Devils have registered seven wins and two draws in their 11 games under the Englishman, who has propelled them to third in the league table. There have been calls to hand Carrick the full-time job, but his candidature has taken a hit following a recent poor run.
