A legendary midfielder has rescued Manchester United from its dark period and is now on the verge of securing an official appointment as head coach. Following the dismissal of manager Ruben Amorim, Michael Carrick, who was brought in as a firefighter, has received unanimous approval from the club's leadership, the Ineos Group, for his official appointment as head coach.

British media outlet 'Football365' reported on the 6th (Korea time) that "the Manchester United leadership has unanimously agreed to appoint Carrick as the permanent manager," adding that "with Carrick's official appointment effectively confirmed after surpassing eight strong candidates including Thomas Tuchel, Julian Nagelsmann, and Mauricio Pochettino."

A Manchester United legend midfielder is being elevated to the position of official head coach. Under the Amorim regime, Manchester United had fallen to sixth place in the English Premier League (EPL), but since Carrick's appointment, the club has achieved an astonishing record of 10 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in 14 matches, climbing to third place in the league. In particular, by securing consecutive victories in big matches against rivals such as Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal, Carrick has won over the Ineos Group. European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano stated, "Inside Manchester United, Carrick is considered a clear alternative to lead the team in the next season," and added, "The club has prepared to propose a formal contract immediately after securing Champions League qualification."

The full support of the squad is also bolstering Carrick's official appointment. Casemiro, the team's key midfielder, told 'ESPN' in an interview, "Carrick is fully qualified to be Manchester United's manager," and praised him further, saying, "He was the club's idol and a legend. He knows Manchester United better than anyone."

Casemiro continued, "Manager Carrick completely changed the team's atmosphere from the moment he took charge," and emphasized, "The club must have complete trust in him." However, Casemiro himself reaffirmed his intention to leave Manchester United at the end of this season, stating, "I want to leave when the applause begins." He added, "Manchester United should not be satisfied with third place. It is a club that must always think about winning," while expressing his support for Manchester United under Carrick's regime.

Manchester United had originally planned to utilize Carrick on an interim basis until the summer before appointing a high-profile manager. However, after Carrick proved his capabilities in just 14 matches, Manchester United removed renowned coaches such as Diego Simeone and Luis Enrique from the candidate list.
