Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel has expressed his frustration over the way the club is reportedly handling Michael Carrick’s managerial situation, insisting that the former midfielder deserves far more respect.
Schmeichel believes Carrick is being treated unfairly despite his connection to the club and the work he has been doing at Old Trafford.
🗣️ On Carrick’s treatment, Schmeichel said:
“I think the way this is playing out is very disrespectful to him.”
“I don’t think he’s doing anything wrong.”
“I’m a little bit angry at how this great football club is treating one of its greatest players.”
But Schmeichel also had reservations about Mauricio Pochettino potentially becoming United’s next manager.
Although he has admiration for the Argentine coach, the former United goalkeeper questioned whether Pochettino possesses the qualities needed to handle the enormous pressure that comes with managing Manchester United.
🗣️ On Pochettino, he added:
“Pochettino, for as much as I like him, he lacks in that department.”
He also warned that if things go wrong early in Pochettino’s potential reign, the situation at Old Trafford could become even more difficult because of the expectations and pressure from supporters.
Schmeichel’s position is clear: he does not believe this is the right moment to change managers.
This has now raised an interesting debate among United supporters. Should the club continue trusting Carrick, or should the board prioritise bringing in a more experienced manager to lead the next chapter?
One thing is certain: Manchester United cannot afford another managerial decision that takes the club backwards.
UNITED FANS, DO YOU AGREE WITH PETER SCHMEICHEL? SHOULD MICHAEL CARRICK BE GIVEN MORE TIME? 👀🔴
