The chief executive of Manchester United is reportedly set to suggest that Michael Carrick should be considered for the club’s permanent managerial position during discussions with minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Carrick, a former midfielder for Manchester United and currently involved in the club’s coaching structure, is being evaluated as a possible long-term option as the club reviews its future managerial plans.
The proposal is expected to come up in internal talks with Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who now plays a significant role in football operations following his investment in the club. The meeting forms part of wider strategic discussions about leadership and direction at Old Trafford.
Carrick previously stepped in as interim manager and is believed to have impressed with his ability to steady results during that period, keeping him in consideration among senior officials.
Although no final decision has been taken, the idea of appointing someone from within the club highlights ongoing discussions about whether Manchester United should prioritise internal continuity or pursue an external high-profile manager.
