Manchester United have been without a manager since Sir Alex Ferguson, who won 13 Premier League titles and two Champions Leagues, took charge of the club.
It has been 12 years since Sir Alex Ferguson, who spent 26 successful years at the Red Devils, retired from Old Trafford after a spell at the club.
Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down after winning the Premier League in 2012/13. Manchester United have gone through six permanent managers since then, but none have been able to restore the club to its former glory.
The first man to arrive at Old Trafford, who was believed to be the man to continue United's greatness, was fellow Scot David Moyes.
Moyes was hailed by United fans as the ‘chosen one’ when he left Merseyside club Everton to replace the great manager at Old Trafford. However, he had not even finished the season when he was sacked.
Following Moyes’ departure, the club were coached by legendary player Ryan Giggs for the final four games of the season before appointing Lewis van Gaal.
Van Gaal, who had won trophies with teams such as Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Ajax Amsterdam, was expected to return United to success, but instead was sacked.
After two poor seasons, Van Gaal was sacked and Portuguese legend José Mourinho was appointed.
The Portuguese coach, who is known for winning the league title with Chelsea and calls himself "a special person", was backed by Barkat to head to Carrington, claiming that he knew the league well.
His successful managerial stints in Spain and Italy also made him a favourite to take over at the Red Devils.
However, things did not go as planned at Old Trafford and Mourinho was sacked after two years in charge.
Although Jose Mourinho led United to the Europa League, Carabao Cup and Community Shield, and led the club to a second-place finish in the Premier League, the Red Devils did not give him another chance.
Former United player Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who was appointed on an interim basis and later permanently after Mourinho's sacking, managed the club for almost three years.
Solskjaer led Manchester United to a second-place finish in the Premier League in 2020/21, and they also reached the Europa League final. But that result did not guarantee them a future in charge.
After sacking Solskjaer, the club appointed Michael Carrick on an interim basis as they looked for a permanent replacement for Sir Alex Ferguson, before appointing Ralph Raonic on an interim basis.
The next Dutchman to arrive at Old Trafford was Erik ten Hag.
Erik ten Hag, who introduced himself with the slogan "The era of Liverpool and Manchester City is coming to an end soon", has had a difficult time in his coaching career, writing the opposite and the worst records in the club's history.
Although Erik ten Hag managed to win an FA Cup and a Carabao Cup during his tenure, he was dismissed due to the club's poor performance in the league.
Then, the club gave his deputy Ruud Vannestroij temporary responsibility and sacked him after four games and brought Ruben Amorim to Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim, who was criticized for his "stubborn" attitude and his refusal to change his playing style, was also dismissed from Carrington after 14 months.
In his place, former club midfielder Michael Carrick has had a good season.
Michael Carrick, who started his football career at the "A" level for his hometown club Wallsend, moved to London at the age of 15 and joined West Ham United's youth team, where he began his football career.
After two years with the youth team, he won the FA Youth Cup and was promoted to the first team.
He then played on loan at Swindon Town and Birmingham City, where he became well-known, before returning to the West Ham first team for four years before joining Tottenham Hotspur in 2004.
After two years at Tottenham Hotspur, he moved from the north London club to Manchester United in 2006 at the request of Sir Alex Ferguson, where he spent 12 successful years.
During his 12 years at Manchester United, he made 464 appearances, winning five Premier League titles, one Champions League and several European trophies.
Former Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick, who was admired by many for his ability as a player and described as an "unsung star", is now leading the Red Devils as interim manager.
Manchester United, who sacked much-hyped but disappointing manager Ruben Amorim months ago, have appointed former star Michael Carrick as their replacement until the end of the season, and have now appointed him permanently following his impressive run of results.
Manchester United chiefs have backed manager Michael Carrick to stay on permanently, according to a report today.
The club’s chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Willocks are understood to be preparing to appoint Carrick as manager.
The chiefs are believed to be confident that Michael Carrick is the right man to lead the team next season.
The chiefs are expected to ask owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe in the coming days to confirm Carrick’s future.
Following this, there is a high chance that coach Michael Carrick will get a permanent position to lead the club.
In the past few years, Manchester United, which has changed 10 coaches, including temporary ones, in search of a solution, will find the key to success lost under Ferguson in coach Michael Carrick?
Or, as they say, "If Gulcha changes..." Time will tell whether he will suffer the fate of other coaches.
