This market will resolve according to the person who is appointed as the next permanent manager of Manchester United. If no permanent manager is appointed by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "Other." Appointments of 'interim,' 'caretaker,' or other non-permanent managers will not impact this market's resolution. An announcement of a new permanent manager's appointment before this market's close date will immediately resolve this market to the corresponding option, regardless of when the announced appointment goes into effect. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Manchester United; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.Michael Carrick leads trader consensus at 68% implied probability as Manchester United's next permanent head coach following his strong interim spell since January 13, 2026, after Ruben Amorim's sacking, with seven wins in 10 Premier League matches, an unbeaten record at Old Trafford including victories over Manchester City and Arsenal, and the team now third in the table chasing Champions League qualification. Key captains Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, and Luke Shaw have publicly backed him, while reports indicate limited progress on external targets like Luis Enrique or Thomas Tuchel, positioning Oliver Glasner and others as distant alternatives amid end-of-season decision-making. Recent dressing-room unity and results have solidified Carrick's frontrunner status.
