Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said his former Manchester United assistant Michael Carrick will become the Red Devils’ manager in the future.
Solskjaer has tipped Carrick to become Manchester United manager in the future after a successful first season in charge of Middlesbrough. Carrick became United’s interim head coach when Solskjaer was sacked in November 2021 before parting ways with the club when Ralf Rangnick took over. He has taken Middlesbrough to the Championship play-offs and has a shot at taking them back to the Premier League.
“Michael is a man of value and principles, a big family man, but his knowledge is also second to none. He’s had Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho as managers, and he’s played with the best players in the world. He’s a winner but he’s still in control of his emotions. I cannot see him not being the Manchester United manager,” Solskjaer said in an interview with The Athletic. “At United, I’d sometimes see Michael talk to the players. Some of these were ex-team-mates of his which isn’t easy, but he had an authority about him. I am 100 per cent sure that Michael will be the manager of Manchester United if he wants to be.”
