According to The Sun: It seems that Michael Carrick may return to 'Manchester United' as the interim coach, which could significantly impact the team.

According to Sun Sport, the club legend is on the list of candidates for this role in case of the dismissal of head coach Ruben Amorim.

Ruben Amorim still has the support of the club management, but they are closely monitoring other managers in the English Premier League, such as Oliver Glasner, Andoni Iraola, and Fabian Hurzteler, considering their next steps.

The 44-year-old Carrick already has experience at Manchester United, where in 2021 he achieved two wins and one draw in two matches as an interim coach before Ralph Rangnick's arrival.

After that, he managed the 'Middlesbrough' team, leading them to the playoffs and the Carabao Cup semifinals over two and a half years before being dismissed in the summer.

Now, being out of work, Carrick has become one of the top candidates among bookmakers for the role of the next United manager.

FOUR AT THE BACK

It is known that Amorim prefers a system with three defenders, but one of the first changes Carrick will implement is a return to a four-defender formation.

This tactic was his favorite during his time at 'Middlesbrough', and considering United's recent struggles in another system, this seems like a logical step.

FLANKS

Additionally, waving goodbye to wing-backs, Carrick plans to return traditional wingers to the lineup.

He used this strategy at 'Middlesbrough', and having played under the best, like Sir Alex Ferguson, he is sure to integrate this tactic in United.

Carrick does not want to lose talents like Amad Diallo and will have a clear task for him - to attack.

SILENCE

Ruben Amorim often finds himself in awkward situations during his press conferences, making uncomfortable statements.

Some may find this refreshing, but many fans would prefer he spoke less.

Carrick, on the other hand, has always approached such events seriously and is likely to avoid unnecessary remarks.

At times he viewed press conferences as a bore rather than an opportunity to engage with fans, so he knows when to hold back. This contrasts with Amorim, who often ends up on the back pages due to his unfortunate comments.

The situation at 'Manchester United' remains tense, and Carrick's potential arrival could mark a new phase for the team. The club is watching the evolution of results under Amorim's leadership and is ready to respond to changes as the situation develops.
