Wow! Former star tipped to make sensational move back to Manchester United
Former Everton chairman Keith Wyness has tipped Manchester United to appoint ex-player Michael Carrick as their new manager if they decide to get rid of under-fire boss Erik Ten Hag
Erik Ten Hag has been at Manchester United for the last couple of seasons – has won a couple of trophies and has been fully backed in the transfer window, but it seems that his time at the club may be coming to an end.
Naturally, attentions have turned to who United may pick as their new manager should the Red Devils decide to part ways with the former Ajax boss, and Wyness believes Manchester United may decide to take a punt on Carrick, who is currently managing Middlesbrough down in the second tier of English football.
Wyness told Football Insider: ‘There are various rumours whether they will go for like a Thomas Tuchel or will it be a Michael Carrick and have more of a managerial coach type situation rather than a Tuchel-type bigger name.
‘I think they might go for the second route and try and get the Man United ethos back to what it was before with an ex-player like Carrick managing the squad.
‘He’s proven to be a very good manager, so that’s where I think they may go.
‘But no one knows at the moment which way Ratcliffe is going to jump. They are starting to reap the rewards of a very bad, difficult off-season when everybody thought Ten Hag was going to be sacked.
‘So all these sorts of things are coming home to roost. It’s a bad issue for Man United. We are already seven games into the season and it’s not looking good.’

Ten Hag has had a bad start to the season – there is much criticism about this United side – but at the end of the day he is a man that wins trophies and getting rid too early in the season could be a mistake.
But if Manchester United do – hiring Carrick will be another mistake that the Man United board do not need to make – if they do get rid of the Dutchman – they need a proven boss that has won things at the highest level and that could take the club back to the very top.
