Kelly Cates

I think there's better options out there.

I think the games where he's come in in terms of winning football matches, he's done a very good job.

He's obviously simplified things but there's been no jeopardy in other games.

I've had three weeks to prepare for the matches and

It's been good timing for him to go in there, and he's done a very good job.

I take my hat off to him.

I mean, if he does get the job in the summer, he'll say, listen, good luck to you.

But I think there's far better options out there for the next manager of Man United.

If Carrick had been mentioned three months ago, you would have been locked up to be the next United manager.

We would have said he wasn't even the reckoning.

But timing, he's got the opportunity to do a very good job.

I don't think... Well, I think there's better options out there.

Simple as that, but he's done a very good job.

United are starting out to be in the Champions League, of course.

But United, obviously, making the decisions there, will have to go out and interview people and see what's out there.

Most players do like a caretaker manager.

It's different when he comes in, then he's got to make decisions about contracts and pre-season and medical staff and he's involved in all that, transfers and recruitment.

his job the last few months obviously has been to win football matches I know that's a manager's job anyway but he's not had any distractions even as a manager and of course he's done it I give him credit for that but if he's given a job then there's different responsibilities for him

And I think to manage a Man United, I think you need someone a lot more experienced in terms of winning trophies, competing in Europe, and he hasn't got that.

He might have in a few years and he might be in the mix then.
