Michael Carrick confirmed as Manchester United’s interim coach, debuting in the derby at Old Trafford.
On 13 January 2026, Manchester United announced 44‑year‑old former midfielder Michael Carrick as the club’s head coach until season end. Carrick’s first game in charge will be the Manchester derby on Saturday at Old Trafford. Negotiations concluded Monday night after the sacking of Ruben Amorim. Carrick, who captained United from 2004‑2016, logged 464 appearances, won five Premier League titles and a Champions League. He will be supported by former England assistant Steve Holland, Jonathan Woodgate, Jonny Evans and coach Travis Binnion, with Darren Fletcher opting to stay as Under‑18s boss. Wayne Rooney publicly endorsed the move. United sit seventh in the Premier League, having exited cup competitions, and will aim to secure European qualification next season.
