Man Utd interim manager Michael Carrick could be in demand

Manchester United interim manager Michael Carrick could be in demand in the summer of 2026 should he guide the team to a top-four finish in the Premier League table this season, according to Football Insider.

Carrick was appointed the Man Utd interim manager last month and will stay in the role at Old Trafford until the end of the 2025/26 campaign.

Journalist Pete O’Rourke said: “He’s obviously building a strong case to maybe have that interim spell turned into a permanent manager’s job come the summer with Manchester United. I don’t think United are rushing into anything just yet.

“But look, if there’s a Premier League club looking for a new manager there, and if Michael Carrack is available, he’s showing he knows how to get wins in the Premier League.

“If he gets Man United back in the Champions League, he’s going to be a hot commodity for a lot of clubs.

“He’s proved that he can do it in the Premier League as well and obviously managing a club like Manchester United shows that he can handle the pressure as well.

“So I’m sure any Premier League club who’s looking for a new manager, if Michael Carrick is available, he’ll be on the list.”
