More on Michael Carrick's appointment as Manchester United head coach.
#MUFC initially made it clear to Carrick when appointed in January there was no guarantee he would get the role beyond this season. However, as results played out, he quickly became a leading contender due to improvements in results, performances and a positive change in culture at Carrington.
Victories against Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Aston Villa all strengthened Carrick's case.
#UCL was always the target, even under Ruben Amorim, and Manchester United achieved this, and finished third, with games to spare.
Carrick's coaching staff, including Steve Holland, will all stay on and their deals are being finalised.
Carrick's focus on the academy was also seen as a plus.
Jason Wilcox led the process and ran a thorough and discreet process.
Other candidates were considered including Unai Emery and Andoni Iraola. Thomas Tuchel would have been a candidate had he not extended with England.🔴
