The job of Manchester United<\/a> manager is perhaps the most challenging in world football and once again the Premier League club are all set to announce a new boss this summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since legendary boss Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down in 2013, the Red Devils have gone through six permanent head coaches, with Ruben Amorim the latest incumbent unable to deliver success at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With two League Cups, one Europa League title and one FA Cup added to the cabinet since Ferguson left, it’s been a relatively barren spell for one of the world’s most successful clubs and Amorim was unable to steer the club back towards the top table of English football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Amorim’s departure, the club have moved to bring in Michael Carrick on an interim basis until the end of the season with a new permanent boss set to be installed in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the 44 year old has surged to the head of the betting after enjoying a terrific start in charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the Man Utd manager on first game of 2026\/27 season odds from Betfred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Carrick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Michael Carrick has been appointed the club’s interim manager until the end of the season and having made over 450 appearances for the club during his playing days, he understands the magnitude of the task at hand at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his only previous permanent role, Carrick enjoyed a 46.32% win record with Middlesbrough in the Championship and his Boro side were very much moulded in his image as a player with a structured, possession-heavy approach favoured by the ex-England international.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s had a great stint so far, picking up 10 wins, two draws and just two losses from 14 games. Additionally, he has now faced all the other big-six rivals and defeated every single one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Manchester United have won more points in the Premier League than any other club since Michael Carrick took charge.
