Sesko backs Carrick as Man United boss on a permanent basis after Brentford win
Benjamin Sesko urges United to appoint Michael Carrick permanently as he praises the interim boss after a 2-1 win over Brentford, keeping Champions League hopes alive.
Benjamin Sesko has urged Manchester United to appoint Michael Carrick as manager on a permanent basis after he steered them toward the brink of next season’s Champions League. Sesko’s strike against Brentford helped United to a 2-1 victory, leaving them 11 points clear of sixth-placed Brighton with four games left and signaling a strong early case for continuity in the dugout. Carrick has collected 29 points from 13 matches in charge, and Sesko credited the interim boss with injecting a fresh energy into the squad.
Sesko also highlighted the training methods and the way Carrick understands the game as reasons for his optimism about a potential future together at Old Trafford. The Slovenian forward told reporters that Carrick is an “amazing coach” and that he would like to see him remain in charge next season. His comments come as United prepare to weigh Ruben Amorim’s long-term suitability once the season concludes.
Brentford’s defeat also saw Casemiro score the opening goal, with Sesko noting the Brazilian midfielder’s departure when his contract expires in the summer will be felt by the club. Despite that, Sesko stressed that Carrick’s approach has justified United’s current push toward Europe, and he remains confident in the direction of the team under Carrick’s leadership.
The conversations around Carrick’s future are set against the backdrop of United’s ongoing transfer strategy, with the club having reportedly committed much of its budget to attackers in recent windows. Sesko’s backing adds another layer to the evolving narrative about who should guide United beyond this season, as the team eyes a return to the Champions League and a more stable long-term project.
