How Man United rate Michael Carrick’s chances for permanent job
How Man United rate Michael Carrick’s chances for permanent job Manchester United caretaker manager Michael Carrick strengthened his case for the permanent job by securing an outstanding 3-2 win over Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday, 3 May, in the Premier League. The Red Devils have been the league’s in-form team since the Englishman’s arrival, registering 10 wins and two defeats in 14 games so far. They are now third in the Premier League table after 35 games, six points ahead of the Merseyside club in fourth.
With the highly anticipated return to the Champions League now secure, United will now turn their attention to consolidating their position in the table. That will further improve Carrick’s candidature for the full-time job, with an appointment expected at the end of this season. The Red Devils’ impressive turnaround under the former midfielder has already made him one of the favourites for the job.
With experienced managers like Carlo Ancelotti, Luis Enrique and Thomas Tuchel unavailable this summer, Carrick’s main competitors are Andoni Iraola, Oliver Glasner and Julian Nagelsmann. Acclaimed journalist Fabrizio Romano has now provided an update on the situation, which will certainly please United fans. Carrick frontrunner for the job Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano insisted that United consider Carrick as the frontrunner for the permanent position.
He said: “I know you see the reports and rumours in the press in England and elsewhere saying Andoni Iraola and many other managers are candidates for the Manchester United job. ” “But my message to you has always been the same. According to my understanding, Michael Carrick’s chances of staying at Manchester United and remaining as permanent manager next season are increasing week after week after week.
” “And now I can add: Manchester United internally believe that Michael Carrick is the clear favourite to keep the job and to be the Manchester United manager next season. We are still waiting for an official decision by the club. Let’s wait.
