Manchester United winger Amad Diallo has backed interim boss Michael Carrick to become the club’s permanent manager.<\/p>\n

Carrick was placed in charge<\/a> until the end of the season in January following the sacking of Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n

Since then, the former United and England midfielder has guided the club to seven wins and just one defeat in 10 matches.<\/p>\n

They now require four wins and a draw from their remaining seven matches to return to the Champions League after a two-year absence.<\/p>\n

United’s hierarchy have vowed not to rush into a decision and are likely to wait until the end of the season before making the final call.<\/p>\n

However, they are yet to speak to any alternatives and the number of options has reduced, with Thomas Tuchel committing to England and Roberto de Zerbi opting to join Tottenham.<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking from the club’s four-day training camp in the Republic of Ireland, Amad feels United already have the right man.<\/p>\n

“From a personal view he’s the right man,” said the Ivory Coast international.<\/p>\n

“He has a lot of experience; he knows the club and has the DNA.<\/p>\n

“His relationship with every player is very good. Sometimes this kind of manager can bring the club where they belong.<\/p>\n

“It’s not the players who decide but my honest opinion is we’re really happy to have Michael Carrick as a manager.”<\/p>\n

While it would be a surprise for a player not to offer their support to the manager, performances on the field suggest the relationship with Carrick and his squad goes deeper than just words.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got good experience with him,” said striker Bryan Mbeumo.<\/p>\n

“He knows how to talk to us and we’re going to try to take as much as we can from him.<\/p>\n

“It’s been easier because he knows the place. It’s been great to work under him.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United winger Amad Diallo has backed interim boss Michael Carrick to become the club’s permanent manager.
