Michael Owen Drops Michael Carrick Theory at Man United - 'I Can't Believe It'

Former Manchester United forward Michael Owen expressed surprise that interim head coach Michael Carrick has not been offered the position permanently, stating the club has "waited about 12 years" for stability.
Since replacing Ruben Amorim on Jan 13, Carrick has earned 19 points from a possible 24, propelling United to third in the Premier League despite the club remaining cautious about a permanent appointment.
United face fourth-placed Aston Villa this Sunday knowing a win boosts Champions League qualification hopes, though ESPN sources indicate the club is in no rush to finalize the head coach role.
Candidates under consideration include Aston Villa manager Unai Emery, Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola, and Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann, with recruitment processes continuing behind the scenes.
Financial pressures persist as United owe £422 million in outstanding transfer payments, with managing debts and expiring player contracts—including 34-year-old Casemiro's deal—remaining priorities regardless of the managerial decision.
