Michael Carrick: Talks with INEOS held at Carrington today

Manchester United have begun talks about appointing a new permanent head coach ahead of the upcoming season.

All signs point towards Michael Carrick staying on at the helm after a hugely successful five-month stint.

Appointed as caretaker head coach following Ruben Amorim’s sacking, the former United midfielder was tasked with getting the club back into Europe.

It was a Herculean task, given that the Red Devils were languishing in sixth place, with most players struggling to perform in Amorim’s rigid 3-4-3 system.

What a turnaround under Michael Carrick

But the Englishman transformed things almost instantaneously, with the help of minor tactical tweaks, including playing players in their natural positions.

And what a turnaround it has been, with the 20-time English league champions accruing the most points since Carrick’s arrival in the division.

United have qualified for the Champions League with three games to spare and they need only a point to assure themselves of a third-place finish, their highest in three years.

As previously relayed by The Peoples Person, INEOS seem to be edging towards handing Michael Carrick the keys to the kingdom on a permanent basis.
