National News – Manchester United interim manager Michael Carrick says clarity over his future at Old Trafford is expected within days after guiding the club to a strong finish in the Premier League season.

Carrick made the statement following Manchester United’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest on Sunday, a result that secured third place and a return to the UEFA Champions League after a two-year absence.

The former England midfielder took charge in January during a difficult period for the Red Devils and has since overseen a remarkable turnaround.

Speaking after the match, Carrick explained that discussions about his managerial position would soon be concluded.

According to him, the immediate focus was on winning the final home game of the campaign and ensuring the team finished strongly.

Reports in England indicate the club is preparing a two-year contract that could confirm him as permanent manager.

During his post-match address to fans at Old Trafford, Carrick hinted that he expects to continue leading the team.

He reflected on several memorable moments achieved in recent months, including crucial goals and important victories that revived Manchester United’s season.

The victory against Nottingham Forest also guaranteed Champions League football for the 2026/2027 campaign, a major achievement for the club after missing out for two consecutive seasons.

Analysts believe Carrick’s calm leadership, tactical adjustments and ability to motivate players have played key roles in the club’s resurgence.

Supporters are now waiting for an official announcement from Manchester United regarding who will permanently lead the club into the new season and how Carrick’s successful interim spell will shape the future of the Premier League giants.
