According to Jamie Carragher, Michael Carrick is set to become the next manager of Manchester United. This comes after the team's recent 2-1 win over Brentford, which has strengthened their grip on a Champions League qualifying position. Carrick has been in charge since January and has overseen nine wins in 13 games, with Carragher praising his "sensational results". The former Liverpool defender believes Carrick deserves to keep the job, stating that his results are on par with those of a title-winning team.
Manchester United are now 11 points clear of sixth-placed Brighton and could secure their Champions League spot when they face Liverpool next weekend. Carragher noted that Carrick has shown his ability to adapt, which was a criticism of previous manager Ruben Amorin. Harry Maguire attributed the team's success to the results, which have boosted confidence, and believes they can still improve in their current formation. Gary Neville also praised Carrick, saying he is getting the maximum out of the players and has done a brilliant job.
Carrick himself recognized that the team is in a good position after their win over Brentford and is looking forward to their upcoming game against Liverpool.
