Carrick's position - stick or twist?
Give them 12 months again, and some players, see where we go. Doc: This team is a patchwork quilt from previous managers. Kevin: Give him a one-year contract with a possible extension if he does well, but for heaven's sake, support him by buying some more players.
[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked for your views on whether Michael Carrick is the right person to lead Manchester United next season after Champions League qualification was all but confirmed by win over Brentford . Here are some of your comments: Chris: So, the defence has been torn apart by injury and suspension. He and the coaching staff have still motivated what players are available to be on the brink of Champions League qualification.
From where they were to where they are now is a job well done. When they are qualified, he and the coaching staff will have done what they were brought in to do, probably against expectations. Give them 12 months again, and some players, see where we go.
Andrew: Carrick's style is very similar to Solskjaer, and that didn't end well. As much as I want him to succeed, I fear it will be the same. Doc: This team is a patchwork quilt from previous managers.
Give Carrick credit for instilling confidence in this team. Those who were on the sidelines and ignored have come into the team, reacted and made a difference. A lot to do yet, so do not expect miracles, but we have a manager who has the right DNA, even if the owners don't.
