Former England striker Michael Owen has said that he is shocked by any opposition to Carrick’s permanent appointment at MUFC. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, after 12 years of failed experiments with proven winners, Manchester United have finally found a manager capable of restoring momentum and guaranteeing top-tier performances from a previously stagnant squad.
Owen added that Carrick is doing very well as MUFC manager, so he deserves the opportunity to continue.
His words, “How on earth can anybody say that he shouldn’t continue? What’s the worst that can happen? You give him a two-year contract. He starts the next season, for the first three or four months he loses every game and he’s useless. He can part company with the club.
It’s not like you’ve got to stick with someone for 10 years. It’s not like this is the biggest decision ever. He’s doing well, why not just let it continue? This is absolutely unbelievable what we’re seeing from Manchester United. If the league started when Carrick took over, Manchester United would be top of the league.
We’re talking at this stage now, we’d be a third of the way through the season and Man United at the top of the league. You’d be thinking, well, can they win the league?”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
