An opinion piece by Goal.com suggests that Michael Carrick could strengthen his case to become permanent manager of Manchester United with a victory over Liverpool this weekend.
United have enjoyed a strong run under Carrick since his appointment as interim boss, winning eight of his first 12 matches and collecting 26 points—form that would place them at the top of the Premier League over the same period. Key victories against top rivals, including Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Chelsea, have revived hopes of a top-five finish and a return to the Champions League.
Despite the impressive results, questions remain over consistency in performances. Some wins have been unconvincing, and critics argue that the team still lacks a clear identity. Carrick himself has acknowledged there is more work to be done, stressing that qualifying for the Champions League should not be seen as the ultimate achievement for a club of United’s stature.
Supporters remain divided on whether the former midfielder is ready for a long-term role, especially given the pressures at Old Trafford. However, with limited top-level managerial options currently available, Carrick is increasingly viewed as a practical choice for the club’s future.
A positive result against Liverpool could further solidify his position and potentially secure him a permanent contract, as United aim to rebuild and compete for major honours once again.
