Michael Carrick Emerges as Front-Runner for Manchester United Interim Manager Role

Posted : 13 January 2026

Michael Carrick is reportedly the leading candidate to take over as Manchester United’s interim manager until the end of the season, according to the BBC.

Sources familiar with the process suggest that the club hopes to formalize the appointment by Wednesday, when players return to training. Although no final decision has been made, talks with the 44-year-old former United midfielder are said to be at an advanced stage.

Carrick previously served as United’s interim manager for three games following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking in 2021, securing two wins and one draw before Ralf Rangnick was appointed.

The former player is reported to enjoy strong backing from both the squad and the club’s professional management team at Old Trafford. Solskjaer has also been in discussions about the interim role, but recent reports suggest Carrick has emerged as the preferred choice.

United parted ways with Ruben Amorim last week after 14 months in charge, with Darren Fletcher stepping in as interim manager. Fletcher oversaw a 2-2 draw against Burnley and a 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Brighton, which appears to have been his final match in temporary charge.

The club is expected to appoint a permanent manager at the end of the season, with Carrick potentially filling the gap in the meantime.
