Manchester United Interim Head Coach Michael Carrick has dismissed comments made by former players, describing them as "irrelevant" to his daily work. The 41-year-old manager, who took over at Old Trafford earlier this month after Ralf Rangnick's departure, is focused on getting the team back on track in their Premier League campaign.
Carrick's remarks come as several high-profile former players have publicly expressed their disappointment with the club's current direction and performances. While some have accused Carrick of lacking experience to lead the team, others have questioned his appointment and whether he is the right man to take Manchester United forward.
In a statement, Carrick made it clear that he does not let comments from former players or fans distract him from his job. "I'm focused on getting the team ready for our next match and trying to get the best out of them," he said. "It's irrelevant what others think, I just want to win games and make progress."
Carrick's words have been welcomed by some Manchester United fans who believe that he should be given time to prove himself without interference from outside. Others have expressed concern about Carrick's inexperience as a manager but hope that he can bring a fresh perspective to the team.
As the new interim head coach of Manchester United, Michael Carrick has his work cut out for him. With several top players missing through injury and suspension, the task will be even tougher than usual. However, if Carrick can stay focused and get the best out of his players, he may just prove that he's the right man to take the club forward.

. All these former players and fans are gonna weigh him down with their opinions. He just needs some space to work with the squad and figure out what's going on at Old Trafford. I think he's got a tough job ahead of him, but if anyone can do it, he can 
. The fans need to get behind him and support him without all the negativity. It's easy for people who aren't in his shoes to say he's not good enough, but trust me, he'll prove them wrong 
. He's been at the club for years, playing for them, so I think that gives him an edge 
.
like what do they know? carrick has been with man utd for ages as a player and now as staff member, hes gotta be qualified to manage lol! plus the team is in shambles rn with all those injuries, carrick needs a break not more criticism 
. personally i think he should just focus on getting us back in top form and show everyone what hes capable of. no need for all that drama 
. And you know what? Maybe having someone from the playing side take the reins isn't a bad thing - it could bring a fresh perspective to the team! 
Fingers crossed for Carrick and United this season 
I mean, can't they just let the guy do his job? It's like they're trying to sabotage him from the get-go. And honestly, I think Carrick's response is pretty reasonable - he's got a game to prepare for, not a forum to defend himself on. 
The fans are right though, maybe it's time to give him some space and let him prove himself. With all these top players out injured or suspended, it's gonna be tough for the team anyway... 
. Either way, I think Carrick has got this - he's proven himself as an amazing player, now it's time to see him succeed as a manager 
The fans are already in a mess, not knowing what to expect from our new gaffer 
He knows his stuff. Let's give him a chance to prove himself, eh? 
think carrick's got a point tbh. all these ex players comin at him with their 2p worth isnt gonna help the team atm. he needs time to figure things out and build his own identity as a manager without all the external pressure. and honestly, some of those comments from them are just salty because they're not gettin paid anymore

. And honestly, it's kinda refreshing that he's ignoring all the noise and just focusing on getting results 
. I mean, at least he's trying to make progress with the team, even if they are having a tough time right now 
. Can't we just support Carrick and hope he brings some success to Old Trafford? 
. And who knows, maybe having a few of those former players who aren't happy about things might actually be a blessing in disguise for the club? Less drama, more focus on getting back to winning ways 
i mean, it's easy to sit behind a desk and trash talk but it's hard to take charge of a team and make tough decisions 
It's easy for them to sit back and watch from the sidelines but actually managing the team is a whole different ball game 
. Still, I think he's got this 
️.
I think Man U is in for a wild ride with Michael Carrick at the helm 
! People saying he lacks experience are kinda harsh tho - 41 and already taking on one of the toughest gigs in the Prem? That's dedication 
. Focus on the game plan, win games, and prove himself, that's all we need 
. Bring it on, Carrick!
