Following the 3-2 victory over Liverpool that booked Manchester United\u2019s ticket to next season\u2019s Champions League, the spotlight has immediately shifted away from the pitch and directly onto the dugout.
<\/strong>
Interim boss Michael Carrick has brilliantly steadied what was previously a severely rocking ship.
His spell at the club has included wins against Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham.<\/p>\n

While several names are being linked with the United job, the clear favourite remains Carrick due to his brilliant performances.<\/p>\n

Now, one of the most decorated and respected veterans in the dressing room, Casemiro, has publicly demanded that the club\u2019s hierarchy hand Carrick the permanent keys to the kingdom.<\/p>\n

Casemiro praises Carrick for his impact<\/h2>\n

When a five-time Champions League winner speaks, you listen. Casemiro didn\u2019t mince his words when pressed about the club\u2019s ongoing managerial situation.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian said, as reported by Fabrizio Romano:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my opinion, Carrick completely deserves the job at Man United. I think he\u2019s a guy who has already demonstrated that he has very good qualities to be a Manchester United coach.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHe deserves the club\u2019s total trust\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

Casemiro knows exactly what elite management looks like, having thrived under legendary figures like Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane during his prime years at Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

If he genuinely believes Carrick has the tactical acumen and man-management aura to lead United back to the absolute top, the INEOS board needs to take some serious notes.<\/p>\n

To truly appreciate the job Carrick has done, you have to look at the sheer chaos he has successfully navigated this season.<\/p>\n

Carrick has turned around Man United in a short time<\/h2>\n

He steered the Red Devils back into Europe\u2019s elite tier despite a horrific injury crisis ravaging his defensive line all year long.<\/p>\n

He managed to keep captain Bruno Fernandes operating at a world-class level, racking up a staggering 22 assists across all competitions, while simultaneously integrating youth and maintaining a fiercely united dressing room.<\/p>\n

Carrick hasn\u2019t just survived the interim tag, he has thrived under the suffocating pressure to manage at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

For over a decade, we have watched the Man United relentlessly chase flashy, big-name managers, only to watch those expensive projects inevitably implode.<\/p>\n

Carrick understands the DNA and the crushing expectations of this football club. He plays on the front foot, he completely understands the Premier League landscape, and as Casemiro just proved, he commands instant respect from the players.<\/p>\n

Sources: Liverpool, Man United, & Aston Villa could have exciting \u20ac40m transfer opportunity <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
