But while Neville praises his former United colleague&#8217;s achievements at Old Trafford, he believes current Germany manager Nagelsmann has had a better career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Speaking on the Overlap Fan Debate, Neville said: &#8220;Michael is probably one of the best players I&#8217;ve ever met and is clearly intelligent. He&#8217;s at the start of his coaching career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cI thought the other day that if he said this, it would be very classy and very Michael-esque: &#8220;Guys, I did what I had to do. I got you in the Champions League, I re-stabilized the club, I stabilized the place. Now, put someone in.&#8221; &#8220;Look, people say, who would you put in?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;And this is not the pitch for Nagelsmann to become Manchester United manager. I haven&#8217;t watched enough of his football.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">&#8220;But if you look at his work at Hoffenheim, his work at (RB) Leipzig, which is a serious coaching club, then he went to (Bayern) Munich and won the league and then took Germany to the World Cup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cAnd you say, \u2018Yeah, let\u2019s take a look at that coach.\u2019 That\u2019s a serious body of work.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Carrick&#8217;s only previous managerial experience was at Middlesbrough in the Championship. Neville added: &#8220;When you look at someone&#8217;s body of work and say it&#8217;s not enough to compete against a club like Chelsea, you apply the same logic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;Michael was at Middlesbrough and it was a really good start to his career and he did really well, but it&#8217;s not the body of work that makes you manager of (Manchester) United.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s the argument against it. Does he have the body of work to deal with this giant that&#8217;s about to start roaring again?&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;Because what comes out of the dragon&#8217;s mouth in the next six to 12 months is important: (Manchester) United.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cNext season will be a completely different job, with Champions League football, Casemiro leaving, summer reinforcements and a lot of things going on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWe need someone who has been in charge of Champions League football, who has been in charge of a 60-game season and who has dealt with the spotlight and scrutiny of United.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2199912\/Man-Utd-next-manager-Neville-Carrick-Nagelsmann\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carrick led United to third place in the table and on top of a return to the Champions League.
