Michael Carrick will be the next permanent head coach of Manchester United Football Club according to a new report from David Ornstein of The Athletic. The contract is reportedly set for two years with an additional option year.
The decision arrives on the heels of reports on Wednesday that Carrick was recommended by chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox to minority owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, with the final decision up to Ratcliffe to offer a permanent contract.
Carrickâs recommendation follows an exceptional interim head coaching spell from the former United midfielder. Since taking over in January, Carrick coached the Reds to their first UEFA Champions League qualification and first top-3 finish in two years. The Reds also owned the Premier League in points in the second half of the season, outscoring their opponents 27-16 and winning 10 of 15 matches with wins over Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Liverpool, and (also if you still count them as a top six side), while only amassing two losses. Carrick is currently nominated for Premier League Manager of the Season.
