By Emmanuel Okogba

Manchester United have officially appointed Michael Carrick as their permanent manager, putting an end to weeks of speculation about the club’s future leadership.

Football journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that the decision had been clear for several weeks, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the club’s new leadership structure fully endorsing the move. A formal contract is expected to be signed in the coming days.

The agreement will likely be a two‑year deal with an option to extend, or a straight three‑year contract. Carrick has expressed full support and is prepared to sign the paperwork.

The former United midfielder and interim coach has impressed the board with his performance since taking charge. His deep familiarity with the club, calm leadership style, and tactical acumen are said to have convinced the hierarchy that he is the right person to guide the team forward.

Under Carrick’s stewardship, Manchester United’s fortunes appear to be turning, with the club now poised to return to the UEFA Champions League.

Further details about the official announcement and the exact length of the contract will be confirmed by the club in the coming days.
