Carrick will continue to be supported by assistant Steve Holland, coaches Jonathan Woodgate, Jonny Evans and Travis Binnion, and goalkeeper coach Craig Mawson. The cohesion of the group has been noted internally as one of the factors behind Manchester United's performance upturn following Carrick's appointment in January.
One further addition to the staff is considered likely ahead of a significantly more demanding schedule next season, with Champions League football returning to Old Trafford. A set-piece specialist is the profile under discussion.
Former United coach Andreas Georgson — who worked in that role during Thomas Frank's time at Tottenham Hotspur before leaving when Frank was dismissed in February — is one name being considered. No decision is expected imminently, with United aware of the importance of finding a candidate who will complement rather than disrupt the tight-knit group.
Aaron Danks, who worked under Carrick at Middlesbrough and gained wider recognition during Bayern München's Champions League semi-final first leg when he managed from the touchline during Vincent Kompany's suspension, is not a realistic option — he remains Kompany's assistant at Bayern with no natural vacancy at Old Trafford.
Holland is confirmed as Carrick's primary deputy with no change to that hierarchy.
