Carrick Can Win The EPL As MUFC Manager – Mikael Silvestre

Former Arsenal player Mikael Silvestre has said that Manchester United can win the EPL under Michael Carrick. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

Stressing the need for MUFC to buy the right players, Silvestre noted that Carrick must focus mainly on qualifying for the UCL consistently and playing good football.

Mikael added that last season was proof that Carrick’s team is capable of beating anyone in the EPL.

His words, “Like he said in an interview when he took over, he has to prove himself to the players, to the board that he can be there for longer.

He can only achieve that if he qualifies always for the Champions League, plays good football and tries to improve the team to win the league. I think he will have time and I think he can do it.

He’s never managed a top club before, but he has so much knowledge about what United is about, about the game. He’s been coaching, he’s not 38 years old, he’s going towards his 50s, he’s not a young lad, so he knows himself.

I hope that his backroom staff is good enough, because it’s not a one-man job anymore. You have to manage 25 players with big egos, with big wages. The sporting director has a big role to play as well as the CEO, it’s not like before, we can’t compare. We can’t compare Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and David Dein. Now it’s a different ball game, totally different.

In my opinion, I think they could if they buy the right players, keep hold of the right ones and buy the right players to strengthen them.

Just on the basis of the last 14, 15 games that Michael Carrick has been in charge, you look at the form, you look at the performances in the Premier League, they can beat anyone. They’ve proven that. They’ve proven to be able to beat the ones that are challenging for the title now.

With a stronger squad next year, why couldn’t they do that? In my opinion, I think it’s a little bit of an excuse when I hear people say, ‘next year’s too early’. I don’t think so.”
