Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton has expressed his admiration for Manchester United's interim head coach Michael Carrick, describing him as having started "brilliantly" during his tenure. However, the 55-year-old also urged patience from the Red Devils' board and supporters alike, suggesting that judgment should be reserved until a longer period of time.
Carrick's appointment was initially met with skepticism by some fans and pundits, but Sutton believes that the former midfielder has been impressive in his first few weeks at the helm. "He's had a brilliant start," Sutton said. "The big question now is: can he sustain it over a 38-game season?"
Sutton understands that Carrick's unorthodox approach to management will be met with skepticism by some, but he argues that patience and understanding are crucial in assessing his performance. "You can't judge Michael Carrick on just one or two games," Sutton said. "He needs time to put his system into place and see how it works."
The Manchester United faithful would do well to heed Sutton's words as they watch their team navigate the challenges of the Premier League. While Carrick has shown flashes of brilliance, his inexperience behind the touchline is a concern for many.
One thing is certain: Carrick will be under intense scrutiny over the coming weeks and months as he attempts to prove himself as a capable manager. And with Sutton urging patience, it seems that even those who were initially skeptical are starting to take notice of the former midfielder's potential.
Can Carrick sustain his impressive start? Only time will tell. But for now, it's essential that United supporters give him the benefit of the doubt and reserve judgment until a longer period of time has passed.

Michael Carrick needs to prove more than just one or two games... a whole season is coming up fast 
. Unorthodox approach or not, experience matters 
. Can he adapt and learn quickly? 
The Red Devils' faithful need to be patient, I get that 
but let's see how the next few months play out 
Carrick's unorthodox approach is gonna be interesting to watch, but I think Sutton's right - patience is key! 
The pressure on him is already high, so let's see if he can keep the momentum going... 
I mean, he had some bad games before but now he's having good ones 
and people are still skeptical? 
Like, can't we just give him a chance to get his stuff together? 
️ We gotta wait 38 games for judgment? 
that's like, ages in football years 
and I think Sutton is onto something 
Carrick's inexperience behind the touchline is a big concern, but at least he's giving it a go 
What I do think is that if we're gonna give him the benefit of doubt, we need to see some progress, not just flashes of brilliance 
. Carrick's got this incredible talent, but we gotta remember that he's still learning the ropes, like, from scratch 
... I mean, we can't just dismiss someone because they don't fit our preconceived notions. We gotta give them space to breathe and see if they can actually deliver on that promise of brilliance 
.
. I mean, Carrick's got some great qualities as a player, but managing is a whole different beast. He's been lucky so far that no one's caught on to how rubbish the team looks 
. We'll see if he can keep it up or if his inexperience will finally catch up with him. One thing's for sure, the fans are gonna be pulling their hair out by the end of March 
.
another day, more bad news... like carrick's inexperience is gonna be a problem lol who knew 55 was too old to be managing a team? 
what if he gets injured or something? 
those 38 games are gonna be a long haul for united fans 
4-1-5 is not bad for an interim head coach 
Carrick's got some serious X's and O's under his belt from his playing days 
38 games to go and I'm excited to see how he stacks up against other top managers 
... wait, no I don't think so 
. Sutton makes a solid point about needing time to put his system into place, though - it's just hard for me to shake the feeling that he's not as equipped to handle the big games 
️... unless he proves me wrong, which I'm sure is exactly what will happen 
they wanna win titles not just scrape by... i mean carrick has the knowledge and all that but experience is key here 
.
.
He's got the skills, he's got the know-how... and those results so far are looking super promising! 
. Carrick might have had some good games, but we need to see how he adapts to the Premier League's pressure cooker environment 
. The fans are being too harsh on him, expecting instant results is unfair 
.
. Patience is key, but let's be real, United need results ASAP 
I totally agree with Chris Sutton on this one 
) and give Michael Carrick some space to settle in. It's easy to get caught up in the hype of a new manager, but we should remember that he's still figuring things out 
. After all, even the most seasoned coaches have their ups and downs – it's how they adapt and grow that matters
