Michael Carrick has done a very good job in terms of results, but I wouldn’t sign him after the summer. I think there are better options
The 54-year-old former Irish footballer is betting that Carrick won’t continue as Manchester United manager next season: “He’s done a very good job in terms of results, but I’m not going to sign him beyond the summer. I think there are better options.”
“Hats off to him, but he won without taking any risks and he had weeks to prepare. “If Carrick had been named as United’s next manager three months ago, we would have been locked up in a mental hospital. “He’s done a very good job, but I think there are better options. It’s simple. United must go ahead with their interviews.” In 2026, he replaced Ruben Amorim.
Roy Keane: “I would choose Diego Pablo Simeone and Luis Enrique”
Roy Keane’s two candidates to manage Manchester United next season are Argentine Diego Simeone (Atletico Madrid) and Spaniard Luis Enrique (PSG).
We have to aim for the best, but Carrick is not the best option for Manchester United. I would choose Diego Pablo Simeone and Luis Enrique.
“Manchester United’s manager needs someone with more experience in terms of winning trophies and competing in Europe and Carrick doesn’t have that. “That could happen in a few years and he could be a candidate then. “No, but not now. We have to aim for the best, but Carrick is not the best option for Manchester United. I would choose Diego Pablo Simeone and Luis Enrique,” he told Sky Sports. Luis Enrique’s contract with Atlético runs until 2027, while Luis Enrique has a contract with PSG until June 2025.
Maybe Carrick is respected in the dressing room because he’s a nice guy. However, you must bring your resume
Regarding Michael Carrick, who played 12 seasons at Manchester United, he said: “Carrick is a good guy so he might be respected in the dressing room, but he has to bring his resume. I’m not saying he and his team don’t deserve a session, they are. He’s brought in an experienced coach and he’s proven he can win football matches. We’ll see if he can win titles.”
Roy Keane also believes Thomas Tuchel could be suitable to manage Manchester United, although his contract with the German national team until 2028 would rule him out as a strong option for the Red Devils.
