Dimitar Berbatov has little question who ought to be accountable for Manchester United next season, saying the choice is a \u2018no-brainer\u2019.<\/p>\n
The identity of the person in charge at Old Trafford next campaign is yet to be confirmed, but interim boss Michael Carrick\u2019s possibilities of keeping the job are increasingly good.<\/p>\n
The previous Red Devils midfielder has produced excellent results since taking charge in January, securing a return to Champions League football next season.<\/p>\n
It looks very likely Manchester United will finish third under his leadership, something which seemed fanciful when he took control after Ruben Amorim\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n
The 44-year-old may not have top level managerial experience, but he’s doing all the things he could possibly do in his audition for the role.<\/p>\n
The variety of football has improved, together with results, while the players seem very joyful working under Carrick and his staff.<\/p>\n
Asked if Carrick has done enough to earn the job on a full time basis, Berbatov told Sky Sports<\/a>: \u2018And more, in my view, and more.<\/p>\n \u2018The team has qualified for the Champions League, the team is playing free-flowing football with swagger, with a lot belief, scoring goals.<\/p>\n \u2018After all there’s work to be done as well, obviously. But looking where the team were, with all the issues, with things that were happening, and now with how things have improved.<\/p>\n \u2018Michael Carrick and his staff, and naturally the players, deserve the credit and I feel if you happen to ask anyone, probably 99 per cent will say in fact!<\/p>\n \u2018I heard a number of the interviews from the players who’re supporting him. \u201cWe’re going to die for him on the pitch. He knows find out how to speak with us, the outcomes are here.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2018For me, it\u2019s a no brainer, he needs to remain.\u2019<\/p>\n It was Kobbie Mainoo who claimed Manchester United players were able to \u2018follow him and fight for him and die for him on the pitch,\u2019 in remarkable praise for the interim manager.<\/p>\n Casemiro, who’s leaving the club at the top of the season, has also backed Carrick to remain in charge.<\/p>\n \u2018For my part, he completely deserves it, I feel he\u2019s a man who has already demonstrated that he has superb qualities to be a Manchester United coach,\u2019 the Brazilian told ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2018So it\u2019s lower than me to decide on, it\u2019s as much as the club. But when I could give my opinion, in fact he deserves it, and he deserves the club\u2019s total trust.<\/p>\n \u2018After all, the season is year-round, but since he arrived, he\u2019s been doing an incredible job and I feel that with more time he has all the things to be an awesome manager of Manchester United.\u2019<\/p>\n![\"Manchester](\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2273811452.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=594\")
