Quinton Fortune has endorsed Michael Carrick’s appointment as head coach of Manchester United, stating that Carrick is a good fit for the role.

Michael Carrick has officially become Manchester United’s head coach, with a contract running through the end of the season.

This mid-season change followed the dismissal of Ruben Amorim on January 5th, prompting the club to seek a swift resolution.

Darren Fletcher acted as the caretaker manager for two matches before returning to his position with the U18 team, while the club quickly progressed in finding a long-term solution.

United’s management chose Carrick over notable candidates like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ruud van Nistelrooy, believing he could effectively stabilize the team until the summer.
