"He's doing an excellent job. Yeah, absolutely. Not going there. Yes, clearly we're thinking about that. But there's still seven or eight games to go. Still a while yet. The co-owner of the club admitted he is eyeing qualification for the Champions League."
"Carrick has impressed at United for his calmness with the media and his dealing with the pressure of the job, but there is no rush internally to hand him a longer contract, sources have told ESPN. His profile as a manager has been raised and he wouldn't be short of alternative options if he left Old Trafford."
"It's a tough league. Most teams, if not every team, has suffered that in recent times so it's putting things in perspective and putting it in a shape where we can improve. We've taken a lot of confidence from [games recently] as a group and what we show we can achieve and how we play."
Michael Carrick has guided Manchester United to third place in the Premier League and positioned the club for Champions League qualification following his appointment as interim manager. Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe praised Carrick's performance as excellent, though he declined to confirm whether the manager would receive a contract extension beyond the current season. Despite a recent loss to Newcastle United, Carrick has impressed internally with his composure and handling of managerial pressure. The club remains focused on securing Champions League qualification with seven to eight games remaining. Sources indicate no immediate rush to extend Carrick's contract, though his raised profile means alternative opportunities exist elsewhere.
