Club legends are arguing over Manchester United's next manager position. They oppose the position that the current interim coach Michael Carrick (45) should be officially appointed.

According to the British 'Telegraph' on the 15th (local time), Roy Keane strongly criticized Carrick, saying, "We should not be excited about his current performance in third place and Carrick should not take the official managerial position."

According to reports, Keane recently beat Aston Villa 3-1 to give a cool assessment to Manchester United's situation, which is third in the UEFA Champions League (UCL). Keane said: "I take credit for Carrick but there are much better options out there. There is no risk or pressure on him at the moment," he pointed out.

"Manchester United finished 15th last year, so expectations are very low. So everyone is excited about the third place performance, but I only get excited when the team lifts the trophy," he said, adding, "If I mentioned Carrick as a full-time coach three months ago, I would have been treated like a crazy person."

Keane said, "If you ask whether Carrick has as much respect as coach Brian Cluff in the past and if he has a resume to lead the team to success, the answer is no. It is not depicted that Manchester United wins the league under Carrick. Manchester United should find a better outside coach through interviews," he said.

Regarding the situation in which the players supported Carrick, he also devalued the situation, saying, "Originally, players like acting coaches without external pressure," adding, "He did not beat Newcastle, where 10 players played, and Aston Villa's performance today was terrible."

Keane's former teammate Wayne Rooney, on the other hand, said Carrick should be the official manager. "Carrick should be a 100% full-time manager," Rooney said on BBC Radio 5 Live. "The team needed calm leadership and someone who knew the club well, and he gave the players the love they needed. The players are playing a high-quality game in a more united form, but there is no reason to make a change," he countered.

Ashley Young also said, "Carrick simplified everything and made fans hope again. If Manchester United had said they would advance to the UCL a few months ago, everyone would have said they were crazy," he said, actively defending Carrick.

The Telegraph said, "The issue of Manchester United's next coach is becoming a hot topic among former Manchester United players who are active as soccer experts." In fact, the off-the-shelf war between legends continues earlier this month, with Patrice Evra fiercely criticizing Paul Scholes for negatively evaluating Carrick's influence.
