The 44-year-old has managed to steer the Red Devils to seven wins and two draws in his first 10 matches at the helm.‌United insist they are carrying out a "thorough process" to name a permanent head coach, with Carrick having only put pen to paper on a deal until the end of the season when he re-joined the club in January. However, he has delivered notable improvements in both performances and results, with United sitting third with seven matches to go and well-positioned to clinch a return to the Champions League next season.‌This has thrust Carrick to the forefront of the race for the role, with the players having made their desires crystal clear, as Amad Diallo stressed they are desperate for the club's former midfielder to stay. He said: "It's not for us as a player to decide for his future but he's been very great, he's been doing so much for the team, he has a lot of experience and he knows the club, he has the DNA so we think he's the right man but we are really happy for what he's doing right now."‌READ MORE: Paul Scholes names eight players Man Utd should sell in brutal takedownREAD MORE: Ruben Amorim's thoughts on next job emerge after Man Utd sacking and £12m payoffCarrick is currently leading a training camp in Ireland as his squad gears up for a return to Premier League action following a 24-day break between matches, yet his own future...
