Carrick was in charge of United a few years ago following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solksjaer in November 2021. He managed three games before being replaced by Ralf Rangnick.
Jason Wilcox, director of football, said: “Michael is an excellent coach and knows exactly what it takes to win at Manchester United.”
Carrick will take charge of his first game this Saturday afternoon in the Manchester Derby as United host rivals Man City.
