“He’ll Make Players Feel a Million Dollars” - Paul Scholes Names Manager Who Should Get Manchester United Job Ahead of Carrick

Paul Scholes praises Michael Carrick’s strong start with six wins in seven matches but questions if he has enough experience for a permanent Manchester United role.

  • On his podcast, Paul Scholes said Michael Carrick is not the perfect manager for Manchester United and argued the club should pursue Carlo Ancelotti as their next manager.
  • Given his Championship background, Carrick has managed in the Championship, but Scholes said this is different, raising doubts about his experience for the Manchester United job.
  • After a 2-1 comeback against Crystal Palace, Carrick has won six of his first seven matches, giving him a joint-best start among Premier League managers with ten fixtures remaining.
  • Facing that choice, United's leadership must decide as Carrick's winning run pressures them to act, with Scholes suggesting experience concerns and a preference for more seasoned managers.
  • With leadership questions hanging over the dugout, Scholes said the club needs presence and experience, citing their European record including finishing bottom of the 2023/24 Champions League group and losing the Europa League final to Tottenham.
