Carrick Must only Be Interim Boss, Says Neville

Michael Carrick takes charge as interim head coach while director Jason Wilcox leads a comprehensive recruitment after Amorim's dismissal following 14 months of poor results.

  • On Tuesday, Michael Carrick was named Manchester United head coach for the remainder of the season and is preparing for Saturday's derby against Manchester City at Old Trafford.
  • United decided to give Carrick the short-term role to let director of football Jason Wilcox run a recruitment process over the coming months after Paulo Amorim was sacked last week.
  • Gary Neville said, `There cannot be any consideration that Michael takes the job beyond this season, for Michael and for the club,` and hopes Carrick leads Manchester United to Champions League qualification.
  • Gary Neville urged United to seek the 'best of the best' for a permanent manager, mentioning Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Tuchel and Carlo Ancelotti as candidates.
  • If Carrick sparks a run, commentators warned it could sway opinion and raise questions about keeping him, noting many ex-Red Devils played one, two, three hundred games handling United's pressures.
