Manchester United are searching for a new permanent manager and interim head coach Michael Carrick is looking increasingly difficult to ignore

Advertisement

With Michael Carrick making a blistering start to his interim reign at Manchester United, many are inevitably wondering whether he’ll remain in charge beyond the end of the season.

United have won five of their six matches under Carrick, including statement victories over Manchester City and Arsenal. The club are on the hunt for a new long-term appointment, with a new manager expected to be in place before the start of the 2026/27 pre-season.

Carrick wasn’t initially viewed as a contender for the permanent role, but after breathing new life into the 13-time Premier League champions, he’s arguably surged to the front of the queue. Other contenders like Oliver Glasner, Gareth Southgate, Roberto De Zerbi and Julian Nagelsmann remain in frame, but the job increasingly feels like it’s Carrick’s to lose.

With that in mind, we’ve put our thinking caps on to consider what a long-term Manchester United contract for Carrick could look like. Let’s take a closer look.

Duration

Carrick would most likely receive a three-year contract. This follows the precedent set for permanent hires like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik ten Hag.

For INEOS, a three-year window provides enough security to implement a philosophy without the “lame duck” risk of a shorter deal, while avoiding the astronomical payout liabilities that hamstrung the club following the dismissals of Jose Mourinho and Ruben Amorim.

Staffing

Carrick would almost certainly be allowed to retain members of his current coaching staff. Steve Holland, in particularly, would stand out as a must-keep given his impressive record at Chelsea and with the England national team.

Holland is also viewed as the secret sauce behind the team’s tactical stability and newfound defensive rigidity. Retaining the blend of Holland’s elite experience with the club DNA represented by the likes of Jonny Evans creates a bridge between the first team and the academy that the hierarchy is desperate to preserve.

Focus

Unlike previous regimes that prioritised “ready-made” stars, Carrick’s contract would likely contain a clear mandate to promote from within – placing renewed emphasis on the academy. That approach would align with the cost-conscious vision of co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is keen to streamline spending while reconnecting United with the values that underpinned the most successful, youth-driven eras in the club’s history.

Last week, Carrick embarked on a 300-mile round trip to Oxford to support the FA Youth Cup team, a move that is reportedly being cited internally as proof of a manager who lives and breathes the club’s values.

Performance clauses

Expect hefty bonuses and incentives tied to Champions League qualification. Having dragged United back into the top four during his interim spell, the hierarchy will likely view UCL football as the club’s number one priority both competitively and financially.

The contract would also be expected to include safeguards – potentially even performance-related break clauses – should Carrick fail to meet expectations.

When hiring David Moyes back in 2013 for example, Manchester United structured the deal to protect the club from a costly pay-off if results deteriorated significantly, which they did. Given Carrick’s relative inexperience at the highest level, it is unlikely those protections would be relaxed.

Salary

A significant raise from his interim salary is expected, likely positioned in the £5million-£7m bracket. This keeps him below the Galactico wages previously commanded by Mourinho or Louis van Gaal (£10m+).

It aligns with Ratcliffe’s broader mission to right-size the club’s wage bill while rewarding Carrick for his lower-maintenance, high-output approach.

Cole Palmer has been linked with a move to Manchester United this summer despite Liam Rosenior insisting that he is happy with Chelsea, and one Reds legend sees him as a superb signing

Lee Sharpe believes that Cole Palmer would be the perfect replacement for Bruno Fernandes, should the Portuguese playmaker opt to leave Manchester United this summer. The Wythenshawe-born 23-year-old has thrived with Chelsea since making the move from Manchester City in 2023.

And when rumours that Palmer was homesick in the English capital started to emerge earlier this year, United quickly found themselves linked with a sensational swoop for the attacking-midfielder. However, Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior was quick to downplay any suggestions that Palmer was unsettled at Stamford Bridge.

Should Palmer’s stance change in the near future, then Sharpe believes that he could excel with the Reds. However, he can’t see the talent getting into the United first-team while Fernandes is still with the club.

Speaking to BetBrain, the Manchester United legend said: “I’ve seen the rumours about Cole Palmer returning to Manchester United, that he’s a boyhood fan of the club. Maybe if Bruno Fernandes leaves Old Trafford, then Palmer could be an option to replace him, but if he stays then I don’t see how Palmer gets into the team.

“Palmer is a really exciting player and I’d love to see him in a United shirt, but there are a lot of boxes that need to be ticked before they go and get a player of his calibre.”

It comes as Fernandes’ future beyond 2025/26 has also been cast into doubt, despite the club captain devoting his allegiance to the Reds time and time again. The 31-year-old’s current contract expires next summer, although there is an option to extend his stay by a further 12 months.

However, with a wealth of interest from the Saudi Pro League last summer, it remains unknown whether his head would be turned should a lucrative deal come knocking again. It is understood that Fernandes will only hold talks with his agent regarding his future after this summer’s World Cup in North America.

Elsewhere, United are also yet to make a decision on a new deal for Fernandes, given that they are still yet to appoint a permanent manager. Regardless of whether he stays or goes, United would be wise to invest in their engine room this summer.

Casemiro is set to part ways with Old Trafford this summer when his own contract expires, with United lacking depth outside of the Brazilian, Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte – who has struggled to find his footing in the Premier League.

As a result, the Reds have been linked with a number of talents ahead of the summer transfer window, including but not limited to Adam Wharton, Carlos Baleba and Elliot Anderson. Elsewhere, Omar Berrada has hinted that the club’s transfer spending is not over as they take a ‘football-first approach’.

The Chief Executive Officer said: “We are now seeing the positive financial impact of our off-pitch transformation materialise both in our costs and profitability. We continue to take a football-first approach and invest in both our men’s and women’s first teams.

“On the pitch our men’s team sits 4th in the Premier League and our women’s team are 2nd in the Women’s Super League, as well as reaching the League Cup Final and the quarter final of the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

“Today’s results demonstrate the underlying strength of our business as we continue to push for the best football results possible for our Men’s and Women’s teams.”

Whether that investment will cover the £100m price tag that many see Wharton’s, Baleba’s and Anderson’s services to be worth, remains to be seen.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has criticised his former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho over comments made following an alleged racist incident involving teammate Vinicius Jr.

The controversy came during last week’s Champions League match in Lisbon against Benfica, where Vinicius claimed he was racially abused by Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni. The match was briefly halted for 10 minutes after Vinicius initially walked off in protest.

After the game, Mourinho suggested that Vinicius’s celebration after scoring might have provoked the abuse. Courtois, who played under Mourinho at Chelsea from 2013 to 2015, strongly rejected this view.

“The only thing that disappointed me in Mourinho was using Vini’s celebration as an excuse,” Courtois said. “You cannot justify racism over a celebration.”

Courtois also revealed that the Real Madrid team was ready to walk off the pitch in solidarity. “It was Vinicius who decided we should continue playing. If he decided to walk out, we would all have walked out,” he explained.

The goalkeeper expressed full support for Vinicius. “I believe Vini 100 per cent. He never, ever accused any rival player of racism in the past. He 100 per cent heard him say it. Racist insults, homophobic insults, and any offensive insults have no place in the football stadium or anywhere.”

Meanwhile, Prestianni has been given a provisional one-match ban by UEFA and will miss Wednesday’s return game. The Benfica player denies the racism claim, reportedly stating he used a homophobic slur instead, while the club says he covered his mouth during the incident.

Mourinho, who was sent off during the first leg, will also miss the return fixture at the Bernabeu and will not attend pre-match media duties.

The scarcity of fitting three-year-old events has trainer Peter Moody directing two stayer hopefuls to the Australian Guineas, much to his chagrin.

Nominations for Victorious Spirit and Bingi cover the 1600m Group 1 at Flemington Saturday, plus a matching benchmark 66 at Cranbourne Friday against veterans.

At Cranbourne, the Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman stablemates would bear 61.5kg and 60kg, yet Moody prefers the Saturday path.

“I probably don’t need to be butting heads with those horses but it’s the race that will take me to where I want him to be and Bingi is a bit the same,” Moody said.

“I’m nearly forced to run them because there’s no three-year-old race at a mile on a Wednesday meeting, or anything like that, and really there’s only the Guineas, and if you want to go to 2000 (metres) at your next start, it doesn’t help.

“He (Victorious Spirit) went well first-up and there may be worse than him there, but it would be nice to find something easier, and it would be cheaper than running in a Group 1.

“Hopefully he can finish in the top five to pay for the day.”

A field of 12 is nominated to the Australian Guineas, featuring Observer and Planet Red – victors of one-two in the Autumn Stakes (1400m) over Victorious Spirit in third – and Flemington C S Hayes conqueror Sixties.

Australian Derby dreams fuel Moody’s plans for Victorious Spirit, son of Ghaiyyath who sired Victoria Derby champ Observer, though timing concerns linger; co-trainer sees Bingi thriving at 2000m.

“He’s the right horse for the Derby, but whether he’s mature enough,” Moody said of Victorious Spirit.

“We’ve got three Derbies still left, so there’s a chance he could run in one of them.

“The Australian Derby is the only one I haven’t won.

“I’ve won over in Perth, I’ve won the Northern Territory Derby as an owner, I’ve won in Tasmania, I’ve won a few in Queensland, as well Victoria and South Australia.

“I’ve been placed in the Australian Derby, so it’s an itch I want to scratch.”

Ryan Gerard looks for his second career win on the PGA Tour when he competes at this week’s Cognizant Classic at Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. He enters as the favorite at +1600, with Shane Lowry at +1700 from FanDuel Sportsbook. Gerard, 26, has three professional wins, including his lone PGA Tour victory at Barracuda Championship last July. Last week at the Genesis Invitational, Gerard tied for 28th, 12 strokes back.

This year’s Cognizant Classic gets underway at 6:45 a.m. ET on Thursday from the PGA National – Champion Course at Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. The tournament with a $9.6 million purse will be played on a par-71 course measuring 7,223 yards. Besides Gerard and Lowry, other favorites include Nicolai Hojgaard (+1900), Rasmus Hojgaard (+2200), Michael Thorbjornsen (+2200) and Keith Mitchell (+2700). Joe Highsmith is the defending tournament champion, winning the 2025 event by two strokes over Jacob Bridgeman and J.J. Spaun. Highsmith is +15000 this year in the PGA odds.

Top 2026 Cognizant Classic expert picks

One of Kannon’s 2026 Cognizant Classic predictions: He’s completely fading Gerard, the favorite, avoiding him in outright bets and advises to go against him in head-to-head bets as well.

“We saw a 26-year old born in the latter half of 1999 win last week at Riviera but I am not banking on yet another ‘Party like it’s 1999’ happening again for a second straight 26-year old this week in Palm Beach Gardens,” Kannon told SportsLine. “Gerard is a very good player who notched his first PGA Tour win in his rookie year last season. He began this year red-hot, with two straight runner-up finishes but now in this watered-down field, he is at the very top of the board as the betting favorite — being priced the same if not lower than Shane Lowry. It is a very different world, going from 30-40-50-to-1 longshot to lone favorite and now being “expected” to win the golf tournament.” See who Kannon is backing at SportsLine.

As one of the best players in the NHL, Matthews’ next task will be to end the Canadian Stanley Cup drought. The Maple Leafs are 27-21-9 and are just above the Florida Panthers in the Atlantic Division. Toronto will play the Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. ET

He will have to make a big push for the team to get into playoff contention as the team is 28-27-2 in the Metropolitan Division.
