Manchester United are under pressure after a nine-match winless run, with the club sitting 17th in the Premier League, and attention is focused on manager Michael Carrick. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Carrick’s former boss and assistant at the club, publicly evaluates the situation and backs Carrick’s appointment.
Across the coverage, Solskjaer is portrayed as insisting Carrick is the right choice to move United forward, even amid poor results. Sources also refer to the club’s January 2026 process following Ruben Amorim’s sacking, when Solskjaer and Carrick were interviewed as Manchester United explored options.
One outlet further adds Solskjaer’s account of his involvement, saying he discussed Carrick positively with United’s senior officials during his interview and later reveals he even made an offer to step in after Amorim was removed. Another focuses more generally on Solskjaer’s verdict and the pressure on Carrick as the team’s performance continues to stall.
