United Co-Owner Ratcliffe Praises Carrick but Deflects Question About Coach's Future
Carrick has led Manchester United to third in the Premier League with six wins in eight games, but co-owner Ratcliffe remains noncommittal on a permanent appointment.
- On Saturday, Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe praised interim coach Michael Carrick for doing an "excellent job" at the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai, but declined to confirm whether Carrick would keep the permanent role.
- Following the firing of Ruben Amorim in January after 14 months, United hired Carrick to stabilize the club, which now sits third in the Premier League and remains in the race for European qualification.
- Under the interim manager, the team has won six of its eight matches, taking 19 points from a possible 21 while sitting ahead of Aston Villa on goal difference.
- Ratcliffe noted that while Champions League qualification is a "very realistic prospect," the club has made no decision on the future with seven or eight games remaining this season.
- Other potential candidates include Oliver Glasner, Andoni Iraola, and Unai Emery, while Thomas Tuchel and Carlo Ancelotti appear out of contention for the permanent role.
