EPL: 'You're Not Qualified to Be Man United Manager' - Roy Keane Slams Carrick After 3-2 Win over Arsenal

Roy Keane doubts Michael Carrick's long-term suitability despite a perfect start, citing only one caretaker lasting a full season in Premier League history, urging Manchester United to seek a bigger manager.

  • Roy Keane, the former Manchester United midfielder, argued the club needs a bigger and better manager and said they will assess multiple candidates before deciding.
  • Keane pointed to precedent, noting that in 32 Premier League seasons only 21 caretaker managers were made permanent, with just one lasting a full season.
  • Michael Carrick enjoyed a perfect start, demolishing Manchester City at Old Trafford and winning at Emirates Stadium with a late Matheus Cunha goal.
  • The win moved United into Champions League places and lifted mood around the club, with away supporters at the Emirates Stadium chanting Carrick's name and players embracing him.
  • United planned to hire an interim head coach for the season and appoint a permanent successor in the summer, with caretakers often moving to smaller clubs soon after.
