Manchester United appointed Michael Carrick as head coach on an interim basis through the end of the 2025-26 season after Ruben Amorim’s dismissal, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the mix but Carrick chosen for a cleaner break and his familiarity with the club. Carrick’s remit is to secure Champions League qualification this season, while a permanent appointment is deferred to summer, and he will lead a revamped backroom staff.
Amad Diallo shone in Manchester United's 2-0 Europa League victory over PAOK FC, scoring both goals and impressing caretaker manager Ruud van Nistelrooy. Despite being overlooked by former manager Erik ten Hag, Amad's performance could earn him a spot under incoming head coach Ruben Amorim, who favors a 3-4-3 system that may not naturally suit Amad's winger role. Van Nistelrooy, who has led United to two wins and a draw as interim manager, is uncertain about his future with the club as Amorim prepares to take charge.
Borussia Dortmund has reconsidered their stance on Jadon Sancho, eyeing his return amid their poor performance in December and the need for improvement in their attacking play. Initially, club figures dismissed the idea of his return, but Dortmund's failure to win in six games and their position in the Bundesliga have led to a change in strategy. Sancho's potential return is seen as a low-risk move, costing the club only €3 million until May, and is hoped to boost their chances in the Champions League and improve their league standing. Despite his struggles at Manchester United, there is optimism that a familiar environment at Dortmund could reignite Sancho's form under coach Edin Terzic, who has previously managed to get the best out of him.
Manchester United suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest, marking their first loss to Forest since December 1994 and leaving them seventh in the Premier League. Despite Marcus Rashford's equalizer, United couldn't maintain momentum, and Morgan Gibbs-White's late goal sealed the win for Forest. United's inconsistent performance raised questions about their strategy and team dynamics, with Antony's lackluster performance and Rashford's isolated efforts highlighted. Manager Erik ten Hag expressed disappointment and pointed to injuries and lineup changes as factors in their inconsistency. United look to improve as players return from injuries in January.
