"Michael Carrick has lifted United from seventh position since taking over in early January, returning an impressive 26 points from the 36 available in his 12 matches, the highest in the division in that period."
"Entry into Europe's top-tier competition means a treasure chest of millions, so the Glazers and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, United's owners, will be cock-a-hoop if Carrick does execute the primary task he was employed for."
"The nagging question is how will he be in a crisis, mini- or full-blown? Because they both tend to come to United and will define his suitability for a job that can be akin to a hydra-headed monster."
Michael Carrick has guided Manchester United to third place, eight points clear of sixth, with two wins needed for Champions League qualification. His success raises questions about his ability to handle crises, which will influence the decision on his permanent appointment. Carrick has achieved 26 points from 36 available in his 12 matches, the highest in the division, but his experience is limited to a small sample size. The uncertainty remains regarding his performance during a sustained dip in form.
