"I knew he would do that just from the experience of knowing Michael and also knowing the way that he coached when he was here under Ole. He spoke really, really well in the dressing room when he spoke back then, and he was really just new into coaching then, so I had no surprises when he came in and the way that he spoke in his first meeting and the way the sessions have gone."
"Unsurprisingly, given Carrick ranked at no.16 in FourFourTwo's list of the best Premier League midfielders of all time, it seems the interim head coach has not lost his unerring passing ability despite having been retired for eight years. That's according to United centre-back Harry Maguire, who has enjoyed the personal touch Carrick has brought to training since taking over. Speaking on the club's in-house Inside Carrington podcast, Maguire said:"
Michael Carrick returned to Manchester United as interim manager and has quickly won player approval for his training approach. He previously coached under Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and had a caretaker spell in 2021 before managing Middlesbrough. Long-serving players had some expectations from his earlier coaching but still found aspects of his methods pleasantly surprising. Carrick's passing ability remains notable despite retiring eight years ago. Harry Maguire praised Carrick's personal touch, clear communication, and the cohesive coaching staff. The coaching group includes Steve Holland among its members.
