Michael Carrick has officially left his role as head coach of Manchester United, the Club has confirmed on its official website.
The English pro football manager returned to the Theatre of Dreams in January, 2026 and helped the Reds finish third in the Premier League 2025/26.
Carrick guided Manchester United in the 2025/26 season to twelve (12) victories out of seventeen (17) encounters and amassed the highest number of points in the League within that period.
The former Manchester United midfielder took over managerial duties at the Club from Portuguese manager, Ruben Amorim, who also struggled at Old Trafford after joining from Sporting CP, Liga Portugal side.
After a below-expectation outcome, the Club made the decision to remove the Englishman as manager and begin looking for a replacement.
In a statement, Manchester United said: “Michael is, and always will be, a Manchester United legend. Just as he did as a player, he has conducted himself with the highest standards of dedication and professionalism throughout his time back with the club.
“His leadership and achievements last season will always be fondly remembered.”
United have now kicked off its search for a new permanent manager.
Currently, Manchester United are in the relegation zone, on the 18th spot, with just eight (8) points.
