Manchester United have seemingly turned a corner this year after Michael Carrick was named interim manager.<\/p>\n
After Portuguese<\/a> head coach Ruben Amorim was sacked, Carrick<\/a> has won six out of seven league games.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n This run has seen United rise to third in the table and take control of their own fate regarding Champions League qualification for next season.<\/p>\n United\u2019s form has led numerous fans to demand that Carrick be installed as permanent manager as soon as the season is over, but pundit Paul Scholes is not in agreement.<\/p>\n Good job<\/p>\n Speaking on the The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast<\/a>, he claimed, \u201cif you put yourself in the owner\u2019s shoes or whoever is making the decision, he\u2019s putting real pressure on them to get the job. The people making that decision might have to think about it a little bit differently because I don\u2019t think you need the most technical or talented coach.\u201d<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n He claimed that at big clubs, the players know what they are doing and that what they value above all is a man manager.<\/p>\n Referencing his own experience as a player, he said, \u201cif you look back to Sir Alex [Ferguson] he was never a coach really but he knew the players, he knew what the players needed and how to treat players to get the best out of them.\u201d<\/p>\n He then highlighted former Real Madrid managers Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane as examples of modern-day man managers.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Referencing Carrick, Scholes stated, \u201cI don\u2019t know what Michael\u2019s coaching style is like but I can imagine as a man-manager he\u2019s very good because he\u2019s brilliant with people and players. The question over Michael is does he have the experience? I know he\u2019s managed in the Championship but this is obviously different.\u201d<\/p>\n Perfect choice<\/p>\n In spite of the compliments, Scholes does not believe Carrick is the perfect choice for Manchester United as their next head coach. He claimed it is impossible to know if his former midfield partner could guide United to a Premier League title in the future, but there is one manager who could.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n \u2018\u201dNow the perfect one out there\u2026 Ancelotti is still out there, I know he\u2019s with Brazil, but he\u2019s that perfect one for Manchester United where you think he would make players feel a million dollars and he\u2019s got the experience of winning trophies.\u201d<\/p>\n He admitted there could be concern that the Italian is too old, but he continued, \u201cthe great thing someone like Ancelotti has is experience \u2013 I know that sounds obvious \u2013 but we don\u2019t know yet how Michael Carrick will deal with going through a bit of adversity.\u201d<\/p>\n Carlo Ancelotti Managerial Career Stats<\/p>\n
