Overview
- Amad Diallo, speaking Tuesday at United’s Dublin training camp, said the squad views Michael Carrick as the right man to lead the team long term.
- Carrick has seven wins, two draws and one defeat from his first 10 matches, lifting United to third place and putting Champions League qualification within reach.
- United say they are running a thorough hiring process and expect CEO Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox to make the final call after the season.
- Reporting says at least one club official has reservations about appointing Carrick, though that stance is described as a minority view that may be overruled.
- The candidate market has narrowed, with Roberto De Zerbi joining Tottenham and other coaches tied to current posts, while reports identify Julian Nagelsmann as the leading external rival.
