I Don’t Feel Sorry For Carrick – Carragher

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has offered a scathing assessment of Michael Carrick’s tenure at Manchester United. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

Insisting that he feels no sympathy for the recently dismissed coach, Carragher stated that Carrick should be proud of what he achieved at the club despite the lack of top-level coaching experience.

Jamie added that getting MUFC back to the UEFA Champions League is already a massive achievement for the club legend.

His words, “Michael Carrick got the job on the back of nothing.

He got the job on the back of basically playing for Man United and he’s done really well.

So this idea that we’ve got to feel sorry for Michael Carrick.

What’s happened to him in the last 18 months, he will look back at this and say it’s painful for him right now but what he did to get them into the Champions League, the big games he won against Arsenal, Liverpool, all these games, he’s done brilliantly.

He’s had a couple of games, the Roma game and coming back for 4-4 [against Aston Villa]. Where they are in the table is obviously [an issue] but that thing of the fans chanting his name as he’s going off.

But I’m not sat here feeling sorry for Michael Carrick.

He’s not a manager who’s been managing for 10 years, working all over the world to get this job at Manchester United – he had about two years at Middlesbrough, was doing a bit of punditry, then got the Man United job. They gave him it.

I don’t feel sorry for Michael Carrick. He’s been managing one of the biggest clubs in the world on the back of basically not really doing a lot.

He’s got them in the Champions League, he’s done really well, but he was never at the calibre of managers in the Premier League.

The managers in the Premier League are the best in the world and he’s just not quite at that level.”
