"There is no question that Carrick has impressed the United hierarchy since stepping into the head coach role on Jan 13. The former United midfielder started with two unexpected wins against title challengers Manchester City and Arsenal, and the team has sustained that impressive form, losing for the first time under Carrick in last week's, last-minute 2-1 defeat at Newcastle."
"Sources tell ESPN that he's has earned admiration within the United hierarchy for his calm and measured approach when dealing with the media and proving that the pressure of the job is not all-consuming, as Amorim and his predecessor Erik ten Hag at times suggested. However, ESPN sources have said that there is no rush internally to hand Carrick the job full time."
Manchester United have experienced a dramatic turnaround in performance since Michael Carrick replaced Ruben Amorim as interim coach in January. The team currently sits third in the Premier League after accumulating 19 points from a possible 24 under Carrick's management. An upcoming match against fourth-place Aston Villa presents an opportunity to strengthen their Champions League qualification prospects. Despite the improved results, Carrick's future remains uncertain as his contract expires in May. The club has not yet decided on a permanent manager, with Carrick among several candidates under consideration. Simultaneously, United is pursuing transfer targets for the summer window independent of the managerial decision.
