Casemiro Backs Carrick for Permanent Man United Manager’s Job

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro says Michael Carrick has already shown he has all the qualities to be a great manager at the club and backed calls for the former England international to be given the role on a permanent basis. Carrick was handed the interim role until the end of the season ⁠after the club ⁠sacked Ruben Amorim in January following a turbulent 14-month spell. United have won 10 of their 14 matches under Carrick, including victories over Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool ⁠and Chelsea, to climb to third in the Premier League and seal a berth in next season’s Champions League. “I think he’s a guy who has already demonstrated that he has very good qualities to be a Manchester United coach,” Reuters quoted Casemiro as telling ESPN Brazil. “Of course, the ⁠season ⁠is year-round. But since he arrived, he’s been doing an incredible job and I think that with more time, he has everything to be a great manager of Manchester United.” United are third on 64 points with three league matches remaining and travel to Sunderland on Saturday.
