Who will replace Michael Carrick at Manchester United? + PL & LALIGA takeaways | ESPN FC

Only sport journalists, whose arguments are geared for sensationalization, would argue to fire Carrick. His last 3 games, coupled with last season, provides more than enough evidence to guarantee his job. The 1st half of the Chelsea game, proves United is a top premiere league team and can go toe to toe with anyone. Only a good coach could engineer the comeback against an Italian team being 2 goals down. Arsenal may be the only EPL team that&#39;s tougher to beat than Aston Villa. But somehow, Carrick was able to score 4 against them after 2 goals down. <br>United is only 1 pts from rock bottom, but only 6 pts from 10th position. ESPN FC is a tabloid outlet. They are not real football analysts.

Pochettino would be mad to take the United job. But he is uniquely placed to manage an English club who refuses to compete financially with the big boys, yet have ambitions above their station. What he achieved at Spurs with Daniel (penny pinching) Levy at the helm was beyond expectations.
