If Lancashire need a couple of steady hands for their batting line-up this season, they could do a lot worse than popping up to their Old Trafford neighbours and poaching Amad and Bryan Mbeumo. The Manchester United duo did their best straight bat impression on Tuesday when questions about Michael Carrick’s future were thrown at them.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s not for us as a player to decide,” Amad<\/a> replied when asked whether he would like to see Carrick<\/a> stay. “But he\u2019s been very great, doing so much for the team, a lot of experience, he knows the club and has the DNA.”<\/p>\n “We\u2019ve got good experience with him, I like playing under him as well, it\u2019s not for us to decide, we try to take as much as we can,” Mbeumo <\/a>echoed. Combined, the duo were asked three further questions about Carrick by the media pack in a 15-minute press conference. But the United<\/a> attackers were impenetrable and stuck to their line.<\/p>\n Get MEN Premium now for just \u00a31 <\/strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 or get involved in our United WhatsApp group by clicking <\/strong>HERE<\/a><\/strong>.

However, whether they like it or not, the players will be the ones who hold perhaps the biggest sway on if the interim boss gets the permanent gig.<\/p>\n Performances from this United team have improved ten-fold compared to the Ruben Amorim<\/a> era. It is hard to believe this is the same group of players but Carrick did not wave a magic wand and improve this squad overnight.<\/p>\n He wisely changed the formation to one that suited the group. He played players in their preferred positions and the results followed.<\/p>\n Nobody really expected Carrick to beat both Manchester City and Arsenal in his opening two games. Those results turned Carrick from a temporary option to a potentially permanent solution.<\/p>\n
