Manchester United can confirm that Michael Carrick has left his position as head coach of the men’s first team.
Carrick returned to the club in January and led the team to a third-place finish in the Premier League, securing 12 wins from the final 17 matches of the 2025/26 campaign. During that period, United collected more points than any other team in the league.
Following a disappointing start to the season, the club has made the difficult decision that a change in leadership is necessary to meet its long-term ambitions.
Michael Carrick will always be regarded as a Manchester United legend. Throughout his time at the club, both as a player and as a coach, he has consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism, commitment and dedication. His leadership and contribution during last season will be remembered with great appreciation.
