“If Manchester United Win Every Game From Now, I Still Wouldn’t Be Giving Him the Job” - Roy Keane on Michael Carrick After Arsenal Win

Roy Keane doubts Michael Carrick's suitability for the permanent Manchester United role after managing only two games, despite an undefeated start and a key win over Arsenal.

  • Roy Keane told Sky Sports he would not give Michael Carrick the job even if United win every remaining game, arguing two victories do not prove long-term credentials.
  • Michael Carrick was appointed interim until the end of the season after Ruben Amorim was sacked earlier this month and began unbeaten with a Manchester derby win.
  • Key moments included Lisandro Martinez's own goal at 29 minutes, Bryan Mbeumo equalising from a misplaced pass, and Matheus Cunha's 87th-minute winner for Manchester United's 3-2 victory at Emirates Stadium.
  • Keane argued Manchester United need a manager like Thomas Tuchel or Carlo Ancelotti to win league titles, saying he would remain unconvinced by Michael Carrick even if they finish fourth.
  • Carrick next faces Fulham at home in a week's time, with Gary Neville praising his recent impact while Micah Richards questioned if he should be made permanent.
