In a move that has energized the fan base, Manchester United officially announced Michael Carrick as their permanent manager this morning. Following a successful stint as interim boss where he secured six consecutive wins, the board decided to bypass external candidates like Xabi Alonso to stick with a "club DNA" approach.
Carrick has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract. His first task will be navigating the upcoming winter transfer window, where he is reportedly targeting a world-class defensive midfielder to solidify the squad's push for a top-four finish in the Premier League.
