Michael Carrick has signed a two-year contract to continue as Manchester United head coach after securing Champions League qualification. The former midfielder took over in January following Ruben Amorim's dismissal, leading United to third place with 11 wins in 16 games.

Director of Football Jason Wilcox conducted a thorough process before recommending Carrick to CEO Omar Berrada and club owners. The impressive run includes victories over Manchester City and Arsenal, with United top of the Premier League form table since Carrick's appointment.

Neville praised Carrick's stabilizing influence but emphasized the challenges ahead with Champions League football returning. Carragher believes the appointment is deserved but sees Carrick as a stepping stone manager rather than a trophy-winning solution.
