I think what United have to avoid as well is that just because it didn't work out with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the end.

He did get into a runner's up spot in the Premier League one year.

It didn't work out with Ole but you can't say well it didn't work out for him so it won't work out for Michael Carrick.

They're completely different characters.

you know, Oli didn't really have the coaching staff that Michael Carrick's brought in.

I remember at the time, I think it was Oli's last season, the club had basically gone to Oli and said, look, we will bring you any coach you want to boost your team.

And he said, no, no, I've got the best coaching staff in the world, you know, in Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna.

Good coaches they are, but they weren't experienced.

But Michael Carrick's addressed that, so that shows he's a different character.

So I think from United's perspective,

First of all, it'd be less expensive than the coaches that talk about it in terms of Pochettino, Tuchel, Ancelotti.

He's also popular.

Happy to slot into a system.

Yeah.

Tuchel, maybe not.

But it all boils down to success.

Now, at the minute, success is great.

Toons out of Toons.

The style of football is Man United's style of football.

You know, attacking substitutions, as Garen Evel said, risking defeat to win.
