Michael Carrick would receive significant backing from the Manchester United squad if he is considered for the club's permanent manager's job.
Carrick has impressed since taking interim charge following Ruben Amorim's dismissal last month. The 44-year-old is unbeaten in his five Premier League games in charge, winning four, and has guided United into the Champions League places.
The club is conducting a thorough search for a permanent manager, with options like Oliver Glasner, Gareth Southgate, and Julian Nagelsmann under consideration. Despite Carrick's relative inexperience, his immediate impact has won strong admirers in the dressing room.
Players have spoken warmly of Carrick both publicly and privately, with Bruno Fernandes being particularly vocal in his support. The squad has enjoyed his coaching sessions, style of football, and the subtle changes he has implemented.
While United's recruitment process is ongoing and a decision is not expected until late in the season or beyond, Carrick has firmly put himself in contention. If player opinion is considered, he is poised to receive substantial support, especially if positive results continue.
