Manchester United continue to be linked to various managers on the market this summer, but it feels like all the momentum and fan support are fully behind interim coach Michael Carrick. Honestly, Carrick checks off so many boxes for Man United. Beyond being wildly successful since taking over for Ruben Amorim and righting the sinking ship immediately to push Man United into Champions League contention again, Carrick symbolizes what Man United is supposed to be about.

They were missed the most in this 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United, as the Red Devils were a total disaster on that flank with Luke Shaw at left back in support of the inverted attacking playmaker Matheus Cunha. While Cunha was actually brilliant on the ball with nine combin...
