Michael Carrick, the interim coach of Manchester United, has signed a two-year agreement with the club, according to British media reports. The deal includes an option for an additional year, which could extend Carrick's tenure until 2029. The club is expected to officially announce the agreement within the next 48 hours.

United's Director of Football, John Murtough, and Executive Director, Richard Arnold, believe Carrick is the right person for the job following his impressive 15-match stint, which saw the team qualify for the Champions League and secure victories against Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea.

Carrick, a former Manchester United player, took over the team mid-January, replacing Ralf Rangnick, who was given the axe due to poor results. Carrick has been highly regarded by the club's directors for his popularity among players and his approach to media relations.
