Overview
- Michael Carrick’s interim run has yielded 22 points from 27 with seven wins and one defeat, lifting Manchester United to third place.
- Manchester Evening News reports Carrick is the betting favourite to land the permanent post, though the club maintains a ‘thorough’ summer selection process.
- Gary Pallister said Carrick should get the job if United secure Champions League qualification this season.
- Wayne Rooney said Bruno Fernandes is a top player but not worthy of an all-time Manchester United XI, citing the club’s historic greats and trophy records.
- Gus Poyet advised Manuel Ugarte to consider leaving to find a team identity that suits him; the midfielder joined from PSG in 2024 on a five-year deal that could cost up to £50m.
