According to the latest from the Daily Mail, Andoni Iraola is no longer in the running for the Manchester United manager position, with Michael Carrick now the strong favorite to take over permanently.
Sources indicate that Carrick is edging closer to being confirmed as the club’s full-time head coach. Although United have insisted no final decision has been made, multiple signs point to Carrick being given the role, possibly before the end of the season.
Iraola is set to leave Bournemouth and was considered a top contender if United decided against keeping Carrick. However, insiders have confirmed that Iraola is no longer under consideration by the Red Devils, leaving him free to discuss managerial vacancies at Crystal Palace and Chelsea. 
Carrick has guided Manchester United back to the Champions League, and his performances appear to have been strong enough to secure the job on a permanent basis. He is expected to be offered a new contract, with his coaching staff—including Steve Holland, Jonathan Woodgate, Jonny Evans, and Travis Binnion—also set to remain.
With the final game of the season away to Brighton approaching, players will soon depart for the summer break. The club is expected to clarify the managerial situation before they leave. Privately, players have been discussing who could take over if Carrick isn’t appointed.
United’s transfer window is expected to be very active, and potential targets will want to know who will be in charge at Old Trafford next season. The club is determined not to rush the process, following a thorough approach that includes interviews with several candidates.
Senior figures at United also want to dispel any doubts about their support for Carrick. However, there are concerns about repeating past mistakes, recalling the long-term contract given to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in 2019, which ultimately didn’t work out.
