Drama on the sidelines at Manchester United: The club officially announced today (May 22, 2026) that Michael Carrick will continue in his role as the team's manager, this time as a permanent appointment. Carrick, who served as interim manager following the dismissal of Ruben Amorim, has signed a long-term contract with the club until the year 2028.

On the channel Sport 5 - The Sport Channel Chat, known for its fast and matter-of-fact coverage of the sports world, they confirmed the details in a short and laconic report: "Official: Michael Carrick has been appointed permanently as United manager and signed a contract until 2028."

Carrick's appointment comes after a period of uncertainty following the departure of Amorim, and now the club hopes to restore professional stability ahead of the coming seasons.
