Manchester United midfielder Casemiro says Michael Carrick has already shown he has all the qualities to be a great manager at the club and backs calls for the former England international to be given the role on a permanent basis.
Carrick was given the interim role until the end of the season after the club sacked Ruben Amorim in January following a turbulent 14-month spell.
United have won 10 of their 14 games under Carrick, including wins over Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, to climb to third in the Premier League and secure a place in next season’s Champions League.
“I think he is a man who has already shown that he has very good qualities to be coach of Manchester United,” said Casemiro. ESPN Brazil.
“Of course the season is all year round. But since he has been here he has done a fantastic job and I think with more time he has everything to become a great manager of Manchester United.”
United are third with 64 points with three league matches to go and travel to Sunderland on Saturday.
