Michael Carrick has reportedly broken his silence following his departure from Manchester United, making serious allegations about the internal issues he believes contributed to his exit. The former United manager is said to have accused a powerful figure within the club of creating problems behind the scenes and playing a role in the departures of several managers.
“Now that I’ve left, I can finally speak my truth and clear the air. People who understand football closely knew what was happening behind the scenes. He wanted me out, and now he has got exactly what he wanted. He did the same to Ten Hag, then Amorim, and now me. Trust me, he won’t stop here,” Carrick reportedly said.
His alleged remarks have reignited questions about the power struggles at Old Trafford, particularly the relationship between the club’s hierarchy, coaching staff and first-team squad. Carrick reportedly believes the same individual contributed to the difficulties experienced by Erik ten Hag and Rúben Amorim before his own departure.
There are also claims that a separate dressing-room incident involving a first-team player and a boardroom official left Carrick feeling humiliated and weakened his authority in front of the squad. Although the full details have not emerged, the episode is said to have highlighted wider concerns about discipline, respect and the club’s internal structure.
The allegations could complicate Manchester United’s search for a new permanent manager, as potential candidates may want assurances that they will have the authority to manage the squad without interference. INEOS could now face pressure to examine the club’s internal relationships and address any problems that threaten stability.
While some supporters are demanding answers, others believe the claims should be treated cautiously until more evidence emerges. Carrick’s reported accusations, however, have placed renewed attention on the culture and leadership at Old Trafford.
