Carrick&#8217;s tenure until the end of the season was announced this week. His debut will see United welcome Manchester City to Old Trafford in an early Saturday morning kick-off. Before that match, Keane had already targeted Carrick and his wife.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: &#8220;I&#8217;m more concerned about the appointment of the manager and the staff that&#8217;s come in with him, but I think at this stage of the season, when you look at the group of players they have, most people will. That&#8217;s going to be a big question, look at Michael Carrick, whatever his mandate was at Middlesbrough, I&#8217;m sure it was to get promoted, but he didn&#8217;t do that so you could say he failed there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not saying he&#8217;s a bad manager, it&#8217;s a difficult job, but it&#8217;s great for him to get the opportunity. The staff he&#8217;s brought in, we sit here every week and talk about Man Utd being the best of the best, and I don&#8217;t see that with this appointment and his staff at the moment. But that doesn&#8217;t mean they can&#8217;t deliver.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a great opportunity for him and his staff, but of course I&#8217;m worried, as I said about the former manager.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>He continued to scrutinize the decision to appoint Jonny Evans to the first-team coaching staff. The former defender&#8217;s return comes just months after leaving his role as loan manager.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>He added: &#8220;It&#8217;s not about Jonny Evans, it&#8217;s more about the club, the decision-making, who they bring in. Jonny Evans left Manchester United about four, five, six weeks ago, right?&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;I quit a month ago and I&#8217;ve had enough of it. I haven&#8217;t been there for 10 years and it&#8217;s been a few months. United are making hundreds of staff redundant every week and Johnny is out of the job. Darren Fletcher will be called up in a week.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"photo changeSpace\">\n<p class=\"withoutCaption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/6680470.jpg?r=1768650942072\" alt=\"Michael Carrick heads to Old Trafford.\" title=\"Michael Carrick heads to Old Trafford.\" width=\"590\" height=\"393\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"newsCaption\">Michael Carrick once again faced the disapproval of Roy Keane. <span class=\"caption\">(Image: Getty Images)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;My problem with Jonny is that he hasn&#8217;t been coached and hasn&#8217;t been in the academy for a few years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>\u201cSo Johnny, who had quit being a loan manager, gets a call and says, \u2018Would you like to come back?\u2019 I\u2019m sure Johnny is thinking, \u2018What\u2019s that about being a kit manager, or am I working with the U12s? &#8220;No, you&#8217;re coming back to the first team to work under Darren.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;Obviously it&#8217;s a great opportunity for him. There are two more games and if things don&#8217;t go too well, that&#8217;s probably the end. We&#8217;ll have another manager, but he wants you to stay too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Asked if he would have assisted United himself, he said: &#8220;Probably no. I don&#8217;t want to work with people above me who are dictating who the staff should be and which players they should bring in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;There was turmoil going on behind the scenes. I&#8217;m not saying the former manager didn&#8217;t help himself, but one day he&#8217;s going to come out and say there were decisions made that I wasn&#8217;t happy with.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"whatsapp-group \">        Join us on WhatsApp for the latest Man United news<\/p>\n<p class=\"wapp-inf\">Our community members may receive special offers, promotions, and advertising from us and our partners.
