Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has hinted that full clarity regarding his long-term future at Old Trafford will be officially provided within the next few days.
The former midfielder saw his team secure a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest, a result that confirmed a third-place finish for the club in the English Premier League.
This milestone guarantees Manchester United’s return to the UEFA Champions League after a two-season absence from the tournament.
Club co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe was present in the director's box at Old Trafford to watch the match alongside chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox.

The club's top hierarchy is widely reported to be aligned on offering Carrick a permanent role following his highly successful run as the interim manager.
A formal announcement from the club regarding a two-year contract structure with an additional one-year extension option is expected shortly.
While securing a top-three finish without European football represents a solid platform, the 44-year-old manager acknowledges that restoring the club to its historic heights will require immense effort and strategic planning.
Speaking to reporters during his post-match press conference, Carrick noted:
“There's a couple of sides to it. There is understanding the position we want to get to from where we've been and understanding what steps that takes. You want to keep improving but the closer you get to the top of the league, the harder it gets.”
The prospective permanent manager emphasized that squad evolution will be a central theme during the upcoming summer transfer window.
He noted that the squad needs proper development, which will come through strategic new player signings combined with the growth of talented younger prospects who now have full top-flight experience.
Carrick concluded by stating that there is no simple magic trick to success, asserting that sustainable progress at the club requires hard work, intelligence, and high-quality players.
