Former Manchester United and England striker Michael Owen has publicly backed caretaker head coach Michael Carrick to become the club's permanent manager, questioning why his candidacy is being debated Carrick, a former midfielder who made 464 appearances for the club, took temporary charge in January following the sacking of Ruben Amorim and has overseen a significant upturn in form Under his leadership, the team has won six of eight matches, climbing from sixth to third in the Premier League standings
Speaking on the BBC podcast 'The Wayne Rooney Show', Owen, who played with Carrick at Old Trafford from 2009 to 2012, stated he "can't believe people are questioning whether he should get the job" The former striker praised Carrick for having "brought a calm back to the club" after years of instability since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement Despite Carrick's strong results and vocal support from former players like Owen, the club has yet to make a final decision on the permanent appointment, which is expected in the summer.
