Amad backs Carrick for permanent Manchester United job as Red Devils eye Champions League

Amad Diallo has voiced his support for Michael Carrick to take the Manchester United job on a permanent basis, as the club weighs up their next managerial decision.

Carrick stepped in as interim head coach earlier this year following the departure of Ruben Amorim and has overseen a strong run of form, with United winning seven of his first 10 matches in charge.

With the team still pushing for a return to the Champions League, the club’s hierarchy are understood to be delaying any final decision until the end of the season.

However, potential alternatives have thinned, with Thomas Tuchel now committed to England and Roberto De Zerbi recently taking over at Tottenham.

Speaking during a training camp, Diallo made it clear where he stands on the situation.

“From a personal view he’s the right man,” he said.

“He has a lot of experience; he knows the club and has the DNA.

“His relationship with every player is very good. Sometimes this kind of manager can bring the club where they belong.

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

The backing from within the squad appears to go beyond standard dressing room support, with players highlighting Carrick’s understanding of the club environment and his communication style.

Forward Bryan Mbeumo echoed those sentiments, adding: “We’ve got good experience with him.

“He knows how to talk to us and we’re going to try to take as much as we can from him. It’s been easier because he knows the place. It’s been great to work under him.”
