The Manchester United squad supports the continuation of Michael Carrick as head coach, following a significant improvement in the team's performance since he took over on an interim basis, succeeding Ruben Amorim. Since replacing Ruben Amorim, the former Red Devils and England player has led the team to an unbeaten run of six games, with five wins and one draw. Carrick was appointed interim manager only until the end of the season, at which point the Old Trafford board will make a decision on a permanent successor. However, according to the English press, key figures in the dressing room, such as Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, and Luke Shaw, are impressed with the coach's tactical approach and football knowledge. Sources close to the club, cited by The Sun, reveal the general sentiment among the players. "Michael Carrick came in and did a great job because he was a breath of fresh air," said a source. "Some of the players were already expecting this because playing for Amorim was like playing chess. They had to follow his rules to the letter, while Michael told them to express themselves." The same source added that Carrick's knowledge has been a point of admiration. "What really impresses them is his understanding of the game. He knows players from other leagues and clearly spends a lot of time thinking about and following football. The players know the decision is not theirs, but most would be happy if he managed to get the job permanently." In betting houses, Michael Carrick is the top favorite to start the next season as Manchester United's coach. However, names like Oliver Glasner, current manager of Crystal Palace, and former England manager Gareth Southgate are also mentioned as potential candidates.
