Michael Carrick has officially been confirmed as the head coach of Manchester United with a 2-year contract.
In the announcement, the Old Trafford club said that the 44-year-old strategist has signed a contract until 2028, with a one-season extension clause.
Carrick helped Man United win a Champions League spot after taking over as interim coach in January, replacing sacked Ruben Amorim.
The former England midfielder has led the "Red Devils" to 11 victories in 16 matches in all competitions, creating an impressive comeback in the late season.
Negotiations between Carrick and Man United's leadership have been going smoothly for many weeks. The reason for the postponement of the announcement mainly relates to the process of completing the agreement with his team of assistants.
Currently, Man United is also completing procedures to retain two important assistants, Steve Holland and Jonathan Woodgate, in the new coaching staff.
Speaking after signing the contract, Carrick shared: "Since I set foot here 20 years ago, I have felt the specialness of Manchester United. Leading this club is an immense pride.
He also praised the current team: "Over the past 5 months, this group of players has shown resilience, solidarity and determination in accordance with the standards that Manchester United requires.
