The future of Michael Carrick Manchester United is gaining momentum since Benjamin Sesko openly went on record to have him as the permanent successor of the interim boss. These remarks of the striker are in the context of Manchester United getting closer to making a comeback to the UEFA champions league. The 2-1 victory of United over Brentford FC at Old Trafford has shown how the team is changing under the leadership of Michael Carrick.
Carcass has also injected fresh vigor and organization into a side that was not very consistent before taking interim charge. Sesko, who assisted in the victory, complimented Carrick in both his methods on and off the field. His remarks echo an increased feeling among the team that stability under Carrick might be the correct long-term action. Previously, Amad Diallo spoke highly of the influence of the coach as well. In a bigger view, this is a common predicament to leading clubs.
Once an interim manager produces results, there is pressure to ensure it becomes a permanent appointment. Not only the results, but also obvious improvements in the morale and performance of the team strengthen the arguments of Carrick. All that United now require is two points out of their remaining matches to ensure their place in the champions league.
This would be a big step in the right direction, particularly in the light of their previous problems this season. It also has an added importance with the Liverpool FC visiting Old Trafford in the near future. A win in that match would cement qualification and help Carrick even more. The big question now is whether the club focuses on continuity or seeks an outside high profile appointment.
