Michael Carrick lined up for surprise Premier League move if Man United say no

Crystal Palace are reportedly weighing up a shock move to appoint Michael Carrick as their next manager, should the former midfielder fail to secure the permanent role at Manchester United this summer.

The Eagles are currently evaluating potential replacements for Oliver Glasner, who recently confirmed he will step down at the end of the 2025/26 campaign.

According to Football Insider, Carrick has emerged as a primary target for the Selhurst Park hierarchy following his revitalizing impact at Old Trafford.
