Roy Keane, a former Manchester United star, has made it clear that he doesn't think Michael Carrick should be handed the permanent manager's role at the club. In a recent interview, Keane expressed his opinion that Carrick's achievements so far are impressive, but he believes the club needs someone 'bigger and better' to lead them.
Keane's comments come after Carrick's impressive start as interim manager, guiding United to a 3-2 win over Arsenal and a 2-0 derby victory over Manchester City. However, Keane's stance is not without controversy. He acknowledges that Carrick has done well, but he's quick to point out that winning a few games doesn't make him the right person for the job.
'The job? You're being silly now,' Keane said when asked about the possibility of Carrick becoming the permanent manager. 'No, he's had two great performances, but anybody can win two games. It's what he does until the end of the season that matters.'
Keane's comments have sparked debate among fans and pundits alike. Some agree with his assessment, arguing that Carrick's success is a result of having a strong squad and a favorable schedule. Others, however, believe that Carrick has shown enough to deserve the job.
'Harry Maguire made a good point,' Keane continued. 'They've got a lot of their players back now, and they can focus on the league form. But, as we know, winning one or two games for Man Utd is fantastic, particularly to beat City and Arsenal. I felt United would get a result today, but I thought it would be a draw.'
The question remains: should Manchester United stick with Carrick or look for a bigger and better manager? The club's decision will likely be influenced by their performance in the coming weeks and months. In the meantime, fans and pundits are invited to share their thoughts in the comments section below. What do you think? Is Carrick the right man for the job, or does Manchester United need to look elsewhere?
