Michael Carrick’s Wife Blasts Roy Keane Over Man United Criticism

Michael Carrick is poised to step in as Manchester United’s interim head coach, following the recent sacking of Ruben Amorim. Carrick, a former player and youth coach at the club, is expected to take the reins until the end of the season.

Michael Carrick’s New Role

After Amorim’s dismissal last week, Carrick has emerged as the top candidate for the managerial position. He previously played in a notable defeat against the Greek team Olympiacos in 2014.

In light of this development, Carrick’s wife, Lisa, has recently voiced her frustration towards Roy Keane, a Manchester United legend, over his criticism of her husband’s post-match interview. She took to social media to express her feelings, only to delete her initial comments shortly afterward.

Roy Keane’s Criticism

• Keane commented on Carrick’s interview after a match, describing it as “flat” and lacking urgency.
• He suggested Carrick should have communicated with more passion about the team’s performance.

In response to Keane’s remarks, Lisa Carrick tweeted: “Roy Keane what a says anything to provoke a reaction… That’s all… Done…” She later apologized for her emotional outburst, stating, “Deleted my tweet… Emotions got the better of me… Just disappointed.”

Manchester United’s Managerial Search

As Manchester United continues its search for a manager, discussions have taken place with both Carrick and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The club’s chief executive, Omar Berrada, and sporting director, Jason Wilcox, are leaning towards appointing a caretaker coach until the season concludes.

Darren Fletcher is currently overseeing the team’s fixtures while the club evaluates its options. Carrick’s virtual interview with management last Thursday left a favorable impression, and he could be confirmed as interim manager soon.

Future Prospects

Meanwhile, Keane has expressed his admiration for Eddie Howe, the current Newcastle manager, suggesting he would be a suitable candidate for the United managerial role in the future. Keane noted Howe’s ability to manage effectively and lead his teams to success, including qualification for the Champions League.

Keane himself remains content in his current role and has dismissed the idea of returning to management at this time, emphasizing the importance of job satisfaction and the dynamics within a football club.
