Amad Diallo has publicly backed Michael Carrick to become Manchester United’s permanent manager, praising his experience and knowledge of the club.
Amad Diallo has backed Michael Carrick to become Manchester United’s permanent manager.
BBC Sport reported on Tuesday that the winger said the players are happy with Carrick and described him as “the right man” for the job. Amad also stressed that the decision is not for the squad to make, saying the club will decide Carrick’s future at the end of the season.
Carrick is currently in charge at United until the end of the 2025/26 campaign after the club confirmed his appointment in January. The latest comments add player support to a decision that is still open.
The endorsement is not a formal appointment or an indication that United have made up their minds, but it does underline that Carrick has backing inside the dressing room.
The story arrives as United continue to weigh their long-term managerial plan. For now, Carrick remains in the role on a temporary basis, with any permanent move dependent on the club’s own process.
Amad’s remarks are the clearest public player opinion yet in Carrick’s favour, but the final decision remains with Manchester United.
