"The thing is, if you were to give them the job and they start with an underwhelming run, the reaction of both fans and media will be 'should've stuck with Carrick'. This, ultimately, is the inherent trap of appointing an interim for such a long period. If they do well, unless you're bringing in a Klopp/Pep/Ancelotti/Enrique level manager, they have to get the job full time, or they'll cast a shadow over the next guy."
"Personally, I don't think we need to rush anything. Let's see how things stand at the end of April, by which time the club should know which of their other targets would come and whether they're worth chucking Carrick overboard for. My hunch is he'll get it. As our recruitment seems wildly improved, he should fare okay."
Michael Carrick's interim management at Manchester United has produced better-than-expected results, elevating him as a managerial candidate. However, securing elite replacements proves challenging as Tuchel and Ancelotti have extended contracts, leaving only Enrique as a proven option unlikely to leave PSG. Alternative candidates like Iraola, Nagelsman, and Glasner represent riskier appointments. The interim manager trap creates a paradox: strong performance demands permanent appointment or risks overshadowing successors. Delaying the decision until April allows assessment of recruitment improvements and target availability. Carrick deserves consideration beyond dismissive characterizations, with improved recruitment suggesting he could succeed long-term.
