Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has said he does not believe Manchester United manager Michael Carrick will win the Premier League or Champions League with the club.
Carrick took permanent charge of United after initially taking the role on an interim basis and guided the club to third place last season, securing Champions League qualification.
However, Carragher believes Carrick can help United establish themselves as a Champions League club but questioned whether he has the quality required to take the team to the biggest trophies.
“But has he got that stardust to win the biggest trophy? And I think you need to get to a strong position of being a proper Champions League club again. And then, right, what do we need?
“It’s like a player gets you to a certain level, then we need that stardust. I personally just don’t think Michael Carrick’s got that stardust as a manager to win a Champions League or a Premier League.
“I don’t believe Michael Carrick will win the league or the Champions League with Manchester United, but he’s done a really good job.
“He could have a good season and put Manchester United in a position to then go and get a Champions League-winning manager,” he said on The Overlap on Monday.
MediaOne reports that The Overlap is a multi award winning channel on YouTube, a podcast with some of the biggest names in sport. Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Jamie Carragher, Jill Scott, and Ian Wright are among big names that join its Fan Debates, Exclusive Interviews, and Stick to Football with.
Carrick has strengthened his midfield this summer, bringing in Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos.
