Manchester United players are said to be backing interim manager Michael Carrick to take charge on a permanent basis. His early work has impressed the squad. Results have been steady and performances have shown more control and structure.<\/p>\n
However, reports from The Athletic suggest the club hierarchy may take a different route. Journalist Laurie Whitwell indicates that while Carrick has support inside the dressing room, decision-makers are still looking at bigger names with proven pedigree.<\/p>\n
One of the names admired internally is Luis Enrique. The Spaniard has a strong track record in the UEFA Champions League and is known for his attacking style. He is currently expected to continue his project at Paris Saint-Germain, with talks pointing towards a long-term extension.<\/p>\n
Other experienced managers are also under consideration. Thomas Tuchel and Carlo Ancelotti are viewed as elite options. Both have managed top clubs and handled high-pressure environments successfully.<\/p>\n
This creates a difficult situation for Carrick. His work has been positive and players trust his methods. Yet, the club\u2019s long-term vision appears focused on appointing a manager with a strong European record and global reputation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
