Reliable transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also confirmed the positive developments, reporting a club-wide consensus among players, management, and staff that Carrick should remain in the coaching setup next season and beyond.

This decision builds on positive momentum noted over recent weeks, emphasising the importance of coaching stability amid United’s ongoing rebuild.
