Kelly Cates

But the fact he's winning football matches at the moment, of course, gives him a great chance.

But I think if he becomes permanent manager, and all this chat that everyone loves him, I don't know if they were loving him last week when they couldn't beat Newcastle with 10 men.

There's a game you can look at and analyze and go, well, what happened there?

He beat Aston Villa today.

Aston Villa were shocking.

absolutely shocking the more I look at Aston Villa I'm thinking they'll be missing out in Europe how bad they've been today so the timing was good for United for today's game Villa on the back of a European game and United because they were so bad at the start of the season they got no distractions and remember this is the same group of players that finished 15th so everyone else can get giddy about Man United being third in the league I don't I'm not one of them I don't get all excited for stuff like that I get excited when teams are winning trophies and competing week in week out so I'm not one to get

Too giddy.

Do you think he's the best option for all the managers on the planet?

Everyone who's pushing for him.

It helps that he's English, so that's good for the media, a bit of spin.

Another English coach coming through and apparently Karras got friends, he's friends with everybody, which is fine.

But if people honestly think he's the best option, but if anyone thinks... Where would you sell him?

There's loads of options out there.

So we're all sitting here, ex-football people saying there's not better options than Michael Carrick.

I'm not asking them, I'm asking who they would be.

You're going to get the best.

Carrick's not the best.

Option for Man United.

Simple as... You tried what you called the best and it hasn't worked before.

I say, we've had managers that have come in, you go, well, okay, Mourinho at the time, Van Gaal, he tried everything.
