EPL: What I told Man Utd about appointing Carrick as manager – Solskjaer
Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer disclosed details of his discussions with club officials regarding the potential appointment of Michael Carrick.
In January 2026, both Solskjaer and Carrick were interviewed as candidates to replace Ruben Amorim. During his own interview, Solskjaer expressed his strong support for Carrick.
“When I spoke with Manchester United, I also spoke highly of Michael Carrick,” Solskjaer told Forza Football. “I said: If you choose him, you’re getting a good man.”
Currently, Carrick faces considerable pressure in his role at Old Trafford, having not secured a victory in the last nine matches across all competitions.
