Michael Carroll Confirmed as Manchester United Interim Coach Until End of Season

Manchester United have officially confirmed the appointment of Michael Carroll as the club’s interim head coach, a role he will occupy until the end of the current season.

The decision follows ongoing internal restructuring at Old Trafford, as the club seeks short-term stability while laying the groundwork for a permanent managerial appointment ahead of the next campaign. Carroll, who has been part of the club’s technical and coaching setup, is expected to provide continuity and calm during a critical phase of the season.

In a brief statement released by the club, Manchester United indicated that Carroll was chosen due to his deep understanding of the club’s culture, player dynamics, and current tactical framework. The board expressed confidence in his ability to manage the squad effectively and maintain competitiveness across domestic and European fixtures.

Michael Carroll will assume immediate responsibility for first-team affairs, including match preparation, training oversight, and player selection. He is also expected to work closely with senior players and the club’s football operations department to ensure a smooth transition period.

While the appointment is temporary, sources within the club suggest Carroll will be fully backed by management and given the authority required to make key decisions until the season concludes. The club has reiterated that the search for a long-term head coach will continue independently of Carroll’s interim tenure.

Manchester United supporters will be watching closely as the team enters a decisive stretch of fixtures, with league positioning and cup ambitions still very much in play.

Further updates on the club’s long-term managerial plans are expected in the coming weeks.
