Despite the pressure mounting on Amorim, the United board has no plans to sack him immediately, leaving supporters frustrated. However, Meulensteen believes Carrick would be a suitable replacement to take the club back into the title race.

Carrick's experience and knowledge of the club could be a significant factor in his potential appointment. As a former player and coach, he understands the expectations and culture of Manchester United.

Meulensteen suggests that Amorim's system, rather than the players' performance, may be the primary issue. He believes that a clear and effective structure is essential for the team to succeed, and that Carrick could bring this to the table.

Carrick's ability to implement a system that suits the players and brings out their best qualities could be a key factor in his potential appointment. Meulensteen describes this as "common sense" rather than a magical solution.
