""I go in and have a look at what they have got and straight away try and look at where the strengths are, where the weaknesses are, and try and work on the strengths," he told BBC Sport. "When I've gone in the dressing room and I start talking, you can hear a pin drop.""
"The club also hired Ralf Rangnick to lead the team for six months after Solskjaer's dismissal and Carrick's brief stint, but the Austrian struggled to implement his gameplan and battled with the hierarchy over recruitment - winning 11 games, drawing 10 and losing eight as the Red Devils finished sixth in the Premier League and without a trophy."
"United will be hoping Carrick can succeed in the same manner as Guus Hiddink, who delivered the FA Cup at Chelsea in 2009 as an interim, and Roberto di Matteo, who led the Blues to FA Cup and Champions League glory in 2012."
Michael Carrick will act as caretaker manager for the rest of the campaign, tasked with saving Manchester United's Premier League season. Carrick previously took charge of three United games after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's 2021 sacking. United have experience with interim head coaches, notably turning to Solskjaer after Jose Mourinho's 2018 dismissal and later hiring Ralf Rangnick for six months. Solskjaer lost only once in 13 league games and was appointed full-time, while Rangnick won 11, drew 10 and lost eight as United finished sixth without a trophy. Short-term approaches focus on identifying squad strengths quickly and removing players who lack commitment.
