Manchester United have recorded six victories and one draw in seven fixtures under the guidance of interim head coach Michael Carrick. The run of form includes a recent 2-1 win over Manchester City and a 3-0 victory against Fulham, according to the Premier League. Carrick assumed the role on 12 February 2026 after the club dismissed Erik ten Hag following a 2-0 defeat to West Ham United.
The 44-year-old previously served as a first-team coach at Old Trafford before managing Middlesbrough in the Championship. Under his leadership, United have climbed to fifth in the table and progressed to the FA Cup quarter-finals, per Sky Sports. The board is reportedly considering whether to appoint Carrick on a permanent basis or pursue long-term targets during the summer.
United officials have not set a formal deadline for a decision regarding the managerial vacancy. The team next faces Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, where Carrick is expected to remain in the dugout, according to The Guardian.
