US Edition'100%' From Rooney as Support Grows for Carrick to Be Given Man United Job Long Term
Carrick’s seven wins in nine games have lifted Manchester United into the Premier League top four, prompting strong backing from club legend Wayne Rooney for a permanent role.
- On Sunday, club great Wayne Rooney told the BBC that interim manager Michael Carrick should "100 per cent" get the permanent Manchester United job following the 3-1 victory against Aston Villa.
- Carrick took charge in January to rescue a season imploding under former manager Ruben Amorim, transforming the mood inside Old Trafford as United climbed to third in the Premier League.
- Bruno Fernandes recently reached 100 goals and 100 assists, joining Rooney and Ryan Giggs on that landmark, while academy graduate Kobbie Mainoo has excelled under Carrick's calming influence.
- United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe described Carrick's recent work as "excellent" but stopped short of guaranteeing the permanent role beyond this season, tempering enthusiasm among supporters.
- Skeptics argue hiring an inexperienced coach remains a gamble, and with the team playing only one game a week and facing no other competitions, it remains unclear how Carrick would manage a full, demanding campaign.
