Scholes said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast<\/a>: \u201cMichael Carrick is doing great, it\u2019s unbelievable the change. If 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.<\/p>\n\u201cThe 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re at a big club with good players who know what they\u2019re doing, maybe they need a man-manager more than anything.<\/p>\n
\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.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you look at Real Madrid with Carlo Ancelotti, Zinedine Zidane, I don\u2019t think they\u2019re the most technical or tactical coaches but they\u2019re good man-managers.<\/p>\n
\u201cRuben Amorim seemed obsessed with tactics and it didn\u2019t work, Xabi Alonso seemed the same at Real Madrid. Do those type of big clubs need those coaches or a more man-manager?<\/p>\n
\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.<\/p>\n
\u2018The question over Michael is does he have the experience? I know\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a0managed in the\u00a0Championship\u00a0but this is obviously different.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan we see Carrick winning United the Premier League? Look, we don\u2019t know yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only question would be is he too old? That\u2019s the only thing, is there anyone else of that ilk with a bit more experience?<\/p>\n
\u201cThe way you judge a Manchester United manager is to look ahead and think, \u2018can United win the league with this manager?\u2019 It\u2019s not a case of finishing in the top-four, you need a manager who you think can win you the Premier League.<\/p>\n
\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
