England's prestigious Manchester United has ultimately chosen Michael Carrick (45). Manager Carrick, who led the team's turnaround as interim commander, has been promoted to permanent commander.

On the 22nd (Korean time), Manchester United announced via its official club website and social media channels that "Carrick has been appointed as the permanent manager of the first-team squad." Both parties have signed a two-year contract. Manager Carrick, who took over as interim manager in January, will lead the team until 2028.

This was the expected sequence. Carrick, who came in as a "firefighter," delivered results beyond expectations. Under former manager Ruben Amorim, Manchester United suffered severe slumps. However, Carrick succeeded in turning the team around by 180 degrees, and Manchester United's performance soared vertically.

Manchester United finished 15th in the league last season. When Carrick took charge in January, the team remained in 6th place. However, with 19 wins, 11 draws, and 7 losses (68 points), the team is now in 3rd place in the league. Regardless of the final 38th-round results, Manchester United has secured 3rd place in the league and will qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League (UCL). Carrick's leadership has been a major force.

The UK's The Sun also reported, "With Carrick leading the team for the remainder of the season, Manchester United won 11 of the 16th matches he has managed."

According to reports, Carrick has agreed to a contract extension with Manchester United, but the official announcement was somewhat delayed due to contract issues with other staff members. The Manchester United management highly evaluated Carrick's abilities and placed their trust in Manager Carrick without considering other candidates.

Until now, Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner, and Germany national team manager Julian Nagelsmann were all considered candidates for the Manchester United managerial position. However, with no significant changes, Manager Carrick will continue to lead the team.

The Manchester United club stated, "We are pleased to announce that Carrick will continue with us. He has signed a new contract that extends until 2028."

Carrick said, "From the moment I arrived here 20 years ago, I felt the magic of Manchester United. I feel immense pride in coaching such a special football club. Over the past five months, the squad has shown that it can reach the resilience, unity, and determination we require. Now, with a clear sense of purpose, we will move forward again. Manchester United's amazing fans deserve to challenge for the greatest glory once more," he shared his thoughts.

The squad's trust in him is also high. Earlier, Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha expressed support, stating, "Carrick enjoys immense trust from the squad. The way he coaches the players is truly amazing. It seems like Carrick has the same magic as the Alex Ferguson era. I want to play with him, and I naturally believe he deserves the permanent manager position."
