Michael Carrick has explained that he remains fully confident in the work he is doing at Manchester United and insists the pressure surrounding the role has not affected him.
Softfootball reflected on Carrick’s performances since replacing Rúben Amorim as Manchester United head coach for the remainder of the 2025/26 season on 13 January 2026.
Since taking charge, Carrick has overseen a major improvement in results, including helping United secure qualification for the UEFA Champions League for the 2026/27 season.
One of the defining moments of his tenure came after Manchester United’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Liverpool in a Premier League clash on Sunday, 3 April 2026, a result that strengthened the club’s push back into Europe’s elite competition.
We understands there is now a growing possibility Carrick could be considered for the permanent managerial position due to his performances and strong connection with the players.
However, the final decision is expected to depend on whether the United hierarchy and directors fully believe he is the right long-term option to lead the club forward.
Many Manchester United fans have already shown support for Carrick, believing the team has looked more organised, confident, and competitive since his appointment.
