Manchester United Michael Carrick head coach two-year contract Alex Ferguson permanent manager
Two years?? That feels short already lol.
Wait so he just “passed an audition” like it’s a job interview at school? Idk man I’m not convinced he’s the right guy.
“Flying colors” sounds like marketing fluff. Also seventh manager since Fergie… like maybe the problem is the club keeps changing the coach every time it doesn’t work.
I don’t even remember Carrick doing anything crazy as a manager, but sure let’s give him a two-year deal. Hopefully he brings back that old Ferguson style because the team keeps acting like they forgot how to press. And “resilience togetherness” is basically what every coach says right before they go on a bad run anyway.
