Roy Keane insists Michael Carrick should not get permanent Manchester United job even if he wins every game

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has said he would not give Michael Carrick the clubs managerial job on a permanent basis, despite the former midfielders impressive results as interim boss, including victories over teams managed by Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta.Keane made his views known during a heated debate on Sky Sports following Manchester Uniteds 32 win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Carrick, 44, has enjoyed a remarkable start in temporary charge, recording wins over Manchester City, Arsenal, Unai Emerys side and Thomas Tuchels team, giving him a perfect points return since taking over earlier this month.Asked by Micah Richards whether Carrick should now be considered for the job full-time, Keane dismissed the suggestion. No, youre being silly now, he said. Hes had two great performances but anybody can win two games.Its what he does until the end of the season and even if they do get into fourth I still wouldnt be convinced hes the man for the job, absolutely not. They need a bigger and better manager but hes got the opportunity.Keane went further, insisting that even a flawless run would not change his opinion. I think if United win every game from now until the end of the season, I still wouldnt be giving him the job, he said. I just think they need a bigger, more experienced manager, its as simple as that.Carrick could win every game. The timing coming into the job is fantastic for him. And he said it there, hes enjoying it, but youre enjoying management when youre winning football matches, of course.Manchester Uniteds win over Arsenal came after a dramatic comeback, with goals from Patrick Dorgu and Matheus Cunha sealing victory after Bryan Mbeumo had earlier capitalised on an error to equalise. The result followed a previous win over Manchester City and has put United in a strong position in the league.Keane questioned whether Carrick could meet the long-term demands of the club. The size of the club and the challenges they will face over the next few years you want a manager who you feel can come in and get United winning league titles, he said.Are we all going to sit here and believe Michael Carrick can get United winning league titles? The last two weeks are not enough for me. If you think off the back of two wins he warrants the job then thats your opinion and Im entitled to mine and I dont believe he is the man to get United back to winning league titles.Former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira disagreed, arguing that Carrick deserved a chance, citing examples of younger managers who had succeeded at top clubs. I think you have young managers with no experience who deserve to have a chance, Vieira said, pointing to cases in European football where first-time managers had thrived.Keane rejected the comparison, saying: Theres loads of examples of young managers getting opportunities and doing really well. But theres more examples of managers getting jobs and not doing well.Gary Neville later offered a more measured view, saying Carricks football had made him feel like he had got his club back, but suggesting the board should still look to appoint an elite, experienced coach at the end of the season. Keane, however, also challenged Nevilles praise, continuing the animated exchange on air.Carrick is expected to remain in charge until the end of the season, similar to the interim role previously occupied by Ralf Rangnick, while Manchester United search for a permanent head coach.The post Roy Keane insists Michael Carrick should not get permanent Manchester United job even if he wins every game appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
