‘It’s ‘Carrick’, You Know’

I have great respect for the best managers in the game today. I understand completely when some of our pundits argue the need for a ‘best in class’ manager at Manchester United. Then I realized. Hold on a minute? We had some great managers that we fired. ‘Amorim’ was meant to be the next big thing. It wasn’t a project that we stuck with. So when Carrick gets Manchester United into this position by finishing the double over Liverpool. While also getting many wins over some of the top teams in the game.

Not to mention, that in just a short period of time he has us leading the table for the best performing team in the Premier League while he’s been there with now Champions League confirmed. It shows Carrick is a steady pair of hands who has seen through many challenges this season. The question from most pundits is their concerns for how he deals with more games and the Champions League. I think it’s really up to Manchester United to support him with transfers and a strategy. If the club and Carrick are on board with the direction and where they both want to take the club. That has to be the way they go.

Sure, Manchester United can talk to other managers that are ‘best in class’. But with any appointment, that brings its own concerns and problems as well. Do they understand the culture and will the players support the change? Because from what I am seeing Mainoo is having a rave out there on the field under Carrick and we’re playing the ‘United’ way, and when a team responds in the case of adversity and there is a spirit, what more do you actually want?

If he gets help recruiting, I think he will. While also, bringing some more through the youth system. Having been a Manchester United player in the more modernised era and having an ample range of information from Sir Alex to call from to compliment his own knowledge. It’s only one choice for me, and it’s, Carrick, You know.
