Micheal Carrick finally reveals what Sir Jim Ratcliffe told him during indoor meeting today that got him upset
With the season entering its decisive stretch, tension is building behind the scenes at Manchester United. Interim boss Michael Carrick is reportedly unhappy with the club’s hierarchy amid growing indications that the board intends to appoint a new permanent manager. The development has cast doubt over Carrick’s prospects and once again exposed instability at Old Trafford.
Carrick stepped up after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer departed last November. His spell in charge has delivered inconsistent results—flashes of promise mixed with frustrating setbacks. While he believed strong performances could earn him serious consideration for the role long term, the board appears keen on recruiting a proven external candidate to restore sustained success.
Having served the club for over 15 years as both player and coach, Carrick understands its traditions and culture. The possibility of another managerial shift feels, to some, like a continuation of the instability that has plagued United since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
Though Carrick has avoided public criticism, his reserved responses have fueled speculation. Meanwhile, the board argues decisive leadership is vital to meeting expectations. The coming weeks could determine whether United finally finds stability—or prolongs its cycle of transition.
