Carrick helped Manchester United reach new heights in a short period of time. |
On the night of March 1st, the 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace gave Carrick's MU 23 points after 9 matches, thus equaling the record for the best start in Premier League history held by manager Ange Postecoglou. Not only that, he also led the "Red Devils" to 5 consecutive wins at Old Trafford.
In the current period alone, Carrick has won 6 and drawn 1 of his 7 matches, including two consecutive victories against title contenders Arsenal and Man City. Therefore, MU is predicted to qualify for the Champions League. However, this impressive form puts the club's management in a difficult position.
Carrick was only an interim manager after Ruben Amorim left, but the results exceeded expectations, making the question of a long-term contract unpredictable. Internally, many key players such as Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire are said to support Carrick due to his clear tactical approach and calm management of the dressing room.
But outside, the debate raged fiercely. Gary Neville argued that MU should find a top-tier manager to minimize risk, although he acknowledged Carrick's excellent performance. Roy Keane was more blunt, stating that short-term success doesn't necessarily mean a manager is capable of competing for the title in the long run. Meanwhile, Rio Ferdinand stressed that every option carries inherent risks.
Clearly, Carrick has emerged as the top candidate, surpassing many other big names. But will MU gamble on a manager with little top-level experience, or will they seek a safer option? The answer remains open. For now, Carrick just needs to continue winning and convince the Old Trafford club that he deserves it.
