They'll be looking now at targets for the summer.

We know that they want a midfielder, maybe two midfielders.

So if you're Elliot Anderson, Adam Walton, your question would be, who's the manager going to be?

Yep.

So, you know, in many ways, if United can get to mid-March, April with Michael Carrick riding a wave and doing well, it would make a lot of sense to give him the job.

But obviously, they would then be accused of taking the easy option.

It has to be dependent on results and performances and other factors.

But I do think it has to be a contender because if he does well and gets him into the Champions League...

then why would you throw that away and risk an appointment that has a CV like Thomas Tuchel, great, but let's be honest, he doesn't manage upstairs very well, does he?

So I think he's definitely a contender.

I mean, it has to be.

Even if they get in the Champions League?

Well, they've tried everything.

They've tried the big manager with Mourinho, Van Gaal.

They've tried the old play with Ole.

They've tried the next big thing without Ten High.

Well, what have they not tried?

Well, that's the thing.

So why can't Michael Carrick succeed with better recruitment?

We were talking, I think it was in the middle of the time, and I actually made a point of saying, Arsenal are so well-drilled.
