Ruben Amorim was let go as Manchester United‘s head coach yesterday.
U18 manager Darren Fletcher has stepped in as interim coach and will lead the upcoming game against Burnley on January 7th.
Fletcher held his first press conference today as head coach.
The team needed a change to lift spirits after Jose Mourinho’s exit.
Solskjaer took on the caretaker role and was successful enough to secure the permanent position.
His team finished third and second in the Premier League and set a record for the longest unbeaten away streak in league history.
However, performance declined, and the team struggled with inconsistency.
Eventually, Solskjaer was dismissed.
In a surprising twist, he is now being considered again for the caretaker position after Amorim’s departure.
Michael Carrick, a former player, is also in the running.
Though Solskjaer was leading the race earlier this week, Carrick appears to have taken the lead.
Carrick served as caretaker for three games from late November to early December 2021, winning two and drawing one.
A significant update has emerged on this situation.
Sources indicate that Michael Carrick is set to become Manchester United’s caretaker manager for the remainder of the season.
Further discussions are planned today to finalize the details with Carrick, who met with Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox earlier.
Initially, Wilcox preferred Solskjaer for the position.
The club aims to announce this decision before the first team’s training session on Wednesday to prepare for the Manchester derby on the weekend.
Carrick will face a challenging situation after a recent loss in the FA Cup to Brighton.
