Man Utd dressing room's honest thoughts on Michael Carrick emerge after sacking
The Manchester United merry-go-round continues, with Michael Carrick the latest casualty. The Englishman was brought in at the start of the year to clean up the mess left behind by Ruben Amorim and got off to a flying start as interim head coach. United rocketed up the league table and by the end of the season, secured third spot with relative ease. That earned him a permanent two-year contract. With a top-four finish also came the bonus of Champions League football, but it has proven more of a hindrance than a help, given the extra matches have done Carrick and United no good.
