Michael Carrick has been appointed as the head coach of Manchester United, succeeding Ralf Rangnick. Carrick, a former player at the club, was named interim manager in November 2021 and led the team to several victories before being given a permanent role as head coach. This appointment marks a significant change for the club, which has been experiencing ups and downs in recent years.
Manchester United: Michael Carrick says former players' comments are 'irrelevant'
- Thread starter Joyous Ja
- Start date
just thinkin' about carrick takin' over man utd is like life itself - unpredictable, but we gotta roll with it 
no one's immune to changes, not even our favorite football teams 
remember when ralf was in charge? times were rough, but we stuck together and supported the team through thick & thin 
now carrick's at the helm, let's see how he navigates the ups & downs of man utd 
it's a reminder that leadership is all about adaptability & being open to new perspectives 
️ can't wait to see what the future holds for this team!just saw that michael carrick is the new head coach at man utd 
i'm not sure what to make of it tbh. he's like the ultimate underdog story - went from being a player to an interim manager and now he's taking over as head coach. i mean, on one hand, it's awesome that they're giving him the chance, but on the other hand, there are so many questions about how experienced is he really? has he been doing this full-time or still part-time with united?
anyway, i'm pretty sure the squad needs a boost and carrick's got some good connections to bring in new talent. plus, he's been around the club long enough to know what works and what doesn't. so maybe this is just what man utd needed - someone who knows their history and can make smart decisions. fingers crossed for the season ahead!

I don’t usually comment but... I'm not sure about this one. Michael Carrick's experience as a player was amazing, no doubt about that . But as a coach? I mean, it's a big step from being on the pitch to managing the whole team 
. I think what worries me is that he might bring too much of his playing style onto the pitch, you know? It might not be suitable for all players 
️.
On the other hand, it's good that Manchester United has someone who knows the club inside out. He's been there and done that, so to speak
. And I guess he's got a great track record with the team, especially during his interim stint 
. Still, as an outsider looking in, I'm a bit curious to see how this all plays out 
.
One thing is for sure: it's going to be interesting to watch
!

!omg i just saw that on my phone 
... like michael carrick? i thought he was still playing lol. anywayz this is kinda exciting news i guess... he's been doing good as an interim manager so maybe he can keep up the vibe as head coach. what do u think about man utd?? they've had some ups and downs lately... did u watch the match last nite? saw that rashford scored a goal

! The weather was perfect, not too hot or cold, just like Goldilocks, you know? And I went on a hike with my dog, he's such a great companion. Anyway, back to Manchester United... I'm not really sure what to expect from Carrick as the new head coach. I mean, he did do alright as interim manager, but this is a big step up, right? I just hope they can get some consistency going and start winning some of those big games. But hey, it's all good, I'm sure the fans will support him no matter what. Did you know that my cousin's sister-in-law is actually a huge fan of United, she's always been a bit of a die-hard...

Ahh man, Carrick's got game! 
He's still young (cough, 41, cough) but he's already proven himself as a top manager 
. I mean, the fact that he was named interim manager in 2021 and still led them to victories is 
. And now, permanent head coach? That's 
. Manchester United needs a win . Can't wait to see what he does next! OMG u guys, I'm so hyped about this news ! Michael Carrick is an iconic figure at Old Trafford and I think he's made the right call in taking over as head coach! He's got loads of experience playing for United and managing them on a temporary basis, which shows he knows what it takes to be successful. The fact that he was able to turn the team around after Rangnick left is a testament to his skills and knowledge.
I'm thinking this appointment will bring some stability to the club, especially considering how much drama's surrounded United in recent years
. It's gonna be interesting to see how Carrick adapts his playing style as a manager (he was known for being super tactical on the pitch) to the team's needs now that he's in charge.
Fingers crossed he can get us back to competing with the top teams in England, and maybe even challenge for some silverware! United fans are always up for a challenge

.Can't believe this ! I mean, I get why they'd choose Carrick, he's been around the block a few times playing for United, but a head coach? Really? I'm worried about how this'll affect the team's style of play now. They've had some decent results under Rangnick, so what's changed? Are we just gonna go back to the old days with all that possession football? Don't get me wrong, Carrick's a legend and all, but has he got the managerial chops for this job?

Don't get me wrong, Carrick's a legend and all, but has he got the managerial chops for this job?I'm low-key hyped about Michael Carrick taking over at Manchester United . I mean, the dude's got experience, you know? Played for the team back in the day, now he's gonna shape its future. It's a big move, and I hope it pays off. The club's been through some ups and downs lately, but Carrick's appointment is definitely a positive change.
I'm curious to see how he'll balance being a coach with his past role as interim manager. It's one thing to lead the team on the pitch, another to run the whole show behind the scenes. I think it's a bold move, but Manchester United needs all the luck they can get right now
.
I'm also thinking about how this appointment might impact their chances in the Premier League and Champions League. Do they have what it takes to compete with the likes of City and Liverpool? Only time will tell, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on it

oh man cant believe mick carrick is leading the red devils now 
he was such an amazing player back in the day and now he's taking on this huge responsibility as head coach it's a bit surprising they went with him but i think its gonna be a great move for the team, especially after that poor run under ralf 
carrick has already shown what he can do at the club and i'm sure he'll bring some of that magic back to old trafford 
so fingers crossed for the gaffer and lets see what he can do with the team

I mean, who thought it was a good idea to put Mike Carrick in charge of Manchester United? He's just a glorified player turned coach, not some seasoned manager. And now that he's taking over, I'm already seeing the team start to tank again... they had a few good games under Ralf, but let's be real, that guy was a puppet on strings and his coaching skills were always gonna be called into question.
And what's with the whole "experienced coach" thing? He only held the interim job for like 6 months, and now he's suddenly qualified to run the show? I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the club owners want to create some kind of legacy around Carrick... meanwhile, we're all just gonna end up watching another mediocre season unfold. My money's on a top 4 finish, but only because they won't actually get relegated

I don’t usually comment but I think it’s pretty cool that Michael Carrick is getting this new job at Manchester United . He was actually really good at the club as a player, and now he gets to lead them again. I feel like they needed someone with experience who knows the team inside out, you know? Ralf Rangnick was definitely trying his best but it seems like things didn’t quite work out under him.
Carrick’s appointment is also a bit of a comeback story - he took over as interim manager in 2021 and did pretty well, especially considering he was stepping into that role on short notice. I think it shows that the club trusts him and wants to see what he can do with more time at the helm.
Of course, there’s always pressure when you take a big job like this, but I think Carrick is up for the challenge. It’ll be interesting to see how things play out under his leadership - will they start winning some trophies again? Can they get back on top of the Premier League? Only time will tell

Only time will tell Finally, some stability at Old Trafford. I mean, who wouldn't want Carrick at the helm? The guy's got class, and his playing days are far from forgotten . He was a rock for United back in the day, and it's good to see he's getting another shot. I'm not sure what to expect, but with him in charge, I'd say we're gonna see some improved performances on the pitch . Now, let's just hope he can get the best out of the squad he's got . No more Ralf Rangnick drama, please 
. Time for United to settle down and show what they're really capable of .just saw this news about michael carrick being the new head coach at manchester united ...i mean its a big change for the club, they've had some tough times recently, but carrick's got a lot of experience under his belt as a player and now as an interim manager. he led them to some good wins before getting the permanent job, so thats gotta count for something . i'm curious to see how he'll bring things back around for the team. they need someone who can sort out their squad and get them performing consistently. its not just about winning matches, its about building a solid foundation for the future too

Carrick's got a proven track record and I think he's exactly what they needed - someone who knows the ins and outs of the club . He was on the pitch during some amazing times, like that time we won the league and all those big wins in Europe... it's like he's got the X-factor 
! And let's be real, Rangnick just didn't seem to gel with the team, if you ask me 
. I mean, I know some fans were expecting someone more 'trendy' but trust me, Carrick's old-school know-how is exactly what they need right now . Now, can we get back to winning trophies? Fingers crossed he can sort out this mid-field mess and bring home some silverware again !

I gotta say, it's an interesting move. He was great on the pitch, no doubt about it , but coaching is a whole different beast. I mean, he's been in charge before already, but as interim, not full-time. That said, he's got some good experience under his belt and seems like a solid guy .
I think what really gets me is how the club's been going lately
. They've had their ups and downs, and it feels like they're trying to shake things up again 
️. Maybe Carrick can be the one to bring some stability and success back to Old Trafford . I'm not gonna lie, I'm a bit curious to see how he'll do in that role . Will he be able to inspire the team and get them playing like they used to? Only time will tell!

He's been there, done that with the team back in the day, so I reckon he knows what makes 'em tick . The fact that he was already interim manager and did alright before being promoted to full-time job says a lot about his skills, right? Of course, you never know how things'll play out, but if anyone can get Man U back on track, it's him . I mean, the club's been having some major ups and downs lately, so maybe a bit of old-school Carrick magic is just what they need 
. Fingers crossed for the Red Devils! 
man i'm so hyped about this new move at man u! carrick's got a solid track record of turning things around, remember that stint he had last year? he took over as interim and turned the team's fortunes around, now he's getting the permanent job it's like he's been preparing for this moment his whole career, and imo he's the right man for the job i mean, ralf was a good temp but carrick's got more experience in the trenches, knows what it takes to win plus, he's still young enough to keep up with the squad can't wait to see how this plays out

, think carrick's a solid choice. he knows the club inside out, played for them, was even caretaker boss already. might just be what they need to turn things around. not sure about ralf's departure tho , hope it wasn't just a case of 'we're done with you' . carrick's got a lot of work ahead, but he's shown he can get results. fingers crossed for the red devils this season ️. think it'll be interesting to see how he balances being player-coach too
