US EditionMan Utd Job Feels 'Natural' to Carrick
Manchester United won 3-2 over Liverpool, with Michael Carrick now the frontrunner for the permanent head coach job after 10 wins in 14 matches.
- On Sunday, Manchester United manager Michael Carrick secured a return to the Champions League after a 3-2 victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford, confirming the club's place in Europe's top competition next season.
- Securing Champions League football for the first time in three seasons was Carrick's primary goal when appointed in January following the sacking of Ruben Amorim.
- Carrick has won 10 of his 14 games in charge since January, adding Liverpool to successes over Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea, with goals from Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko, and Kobbie Mainoo.
- The 44-year-old has made a compelling case to remain permanently, while qualification should simplify the club's summer recruitment drive by boosting finances and attracting players.
- Carrick warned the club must aim higher after 13 years without winning the Premier League. "To be where we are with three games to go, there's a lot of satisfaction," he added.
