Since taking over as Man United's interim coach replacing Ruben Amorim, Carrick has helped his team play impressively. The Red Devils have defeated Arsenal and Man City to finish 3rd in the Premier League. With this position, Man United is close to returning to the UEFA Champions League next season.
The Old Trafford team needs to win 6 points in the remaining 5 matches to definitely achieve this goal. In the immediate future, Man United will have a match against Brentford at home in round 34. When asked if he wants to continue leading Man United next season, Carrick cleverly replied: "I have said this many times, I like here, I like my role.
Man United has had some good results and the team is in a pretty good situation. I think there are still many matches ahead, we still want to continue to improve, there are goals we want to achieve. I will consider everything, you know.
I have said the same thing over and over again every week. Again, I like being here, I love this job. It's a privilege to be in this position and I'm trying my best with the responsibility we are shouldering.
Man United's leadership has not yet finalized the plan for Man United's coach next season. According to British media, Carrick is one of the candidates to become a long-term Man United coach.
The Old Trafford team wants to have thorough assessments, choose the most suitable person to lead the team, avoiding repeating the same mistakes as Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim - who could not stick with Man United for too long.
Carrick also emphasized that he is not sure when he will get a clear answer about his future. He shared: "Honestly, I am not sure, and really, I am not too hasty about the deadline.
I think everything will be clear when the right time comes, and currently, I am here to help the team and the club achieve good results. Currently, Man United is doing quite well. We can continue to strive and improve further. So, really, that is all I am focusing on at this time.
In the match against Brentford, Man United will welcome the return of central defender Harry Maguire after suspension. This is very good news for Man United in the final sprint of the season. In the 1-0 victory over Chelsea, Carrick had to use the unexpected central defender pair Mazraoui and Heaven because both Maguire and Martinez were suspended.
The Man United vs Brentford match will take place at 2:00 AM on April 28.
