A prominent Manchester United star is fortunate twice over after Michael Carrick was appointed as the new coach, replacing Rúben Amorim.
On 5 Feb 2026 GMT+7, English midfielder Kobby Mendy of the "Red Devils" Manchester United, a leading Premier League club, experienced double good fortune after Michael Carrick was named interim manager, succeeding former Portuguese coach Rúben Amorim, who was dismissed.
During Rúben Amorim’s tenure, Kobby Mendy’s future was uncertain, hanging by a thread, as the former Portuguese coach consistently overlooked him, giving him almost no playing time. This led to transfer rumors involving both loan and permanent moves. However, Mendy’s prospects brightened instantly when Michael Carrick took over as manager and restored him to an important role in the team.
Secondly, Kobby Mendy is set to receive a new contract soon. The club’s board views him as a core player in the team’s long-term structure, regardless of who manages the club next season. Currently, the club is preparing to begin negotiations with Mendy’s agent in the near future.
