Manchester United's management is reportedly divided over the potential permanent appointment of Michael Carrick as the club's manager. The 44-year-old has had a promising start, securing eight wins in 12 Premier League matches. However, senior officials express concerns regarding his ability to establish a sustainable brand of football and lead the team to success, given his limited managerial experience. Carrick previously managed Middlesbrough, achieving finishes of fourth, eighth, and tenth in the Championship. While he has the backing of the squad, Manchester United is also exploring other candidates, notably Germany's national team manager, Julian Nagelsmann. Reports suggest that Nagelsmann is interested in a position at Real Madrid, complicating United's pursuit as he may seek to replace interim manager Alvaro Arbeloa after the World Cup. United's director of recruitment, Christopher Vivell, is particularly keen on bringing Nagelsmann to Old Trafford.
