Michael Carrick Ready For 'Privilege' of Manchester United Job After Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Sacking
News 18Michael Carrick said Monday he is relishing the “privilege” of taking temporary charge at Manchester United as captain Harry Maguire demanded the players take responsibility for the disastrous results that led to the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. “We understand and Ole understands it’s a results business so as much as you build the right foundations and environment and you show people the way, you sometimes don’t get what you deserve.” Solskjaer was also initially put in temporary charge following Jose Mourinho’s sacking in December 2018, but a run of 14 wins in his first 19 games earned him the job. “The focus now is on flipping our mindset very quickly and that’s something this club has done very well historically.” – Maguire blast – United captain Harry Maguire, who was sent off during Saturday’s 4-1 humiliation at Watford, accepted the players had to accept responsibility for costing their former manager his job. “One thing he did say is that he will be supporting us and wanting us to win every game of football, which obviously shows the values of the man.” Maguire has been one of the main culprits for United’s awful run as the form he showed in helping England to the final of Euro 2020 has deserted him at club level.
