'Carrick should have stayed': Andrei Kanchelskis worries for United

‘Michael Carrick should have stayed’: Andrei Kanchelskis worries Manchester United are making a mistake hiring Ralf Rangnick as they need ‘stability’ to turn their season around

  • Andrei Kanchelskis thinks Man United should have left Michael Carrick in charge
  • Carrick will take charge of United’s trip to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon
  • Rangnick will then assume control after being named as the new interim boss
  • Kanchelskis says United would benefit from keeping Carrick for some stability  

Andrei Kanchelskis says that Manchester United should have left Michael Carrick in control of the club until the end of the season. 

Carrick will take charge of Sunday’s trip to Chelsea but relinquish his duties once they return as the club have named Ralf Rangnick as the club’s new interim manager.

Rangnick has signed a six month deal with the Red Devils – who were eager to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on a temporary basis before hiring a permanent successor in the summer.

Kanchelskis admits he is impressed by the work Rangnick has done at Lokomotiv Moscow as the club’s head of sports and development, but worries United are making a mistake. 

He says United would benefit from some stability in the squad. Speaking to BettingExpert he said: ‘I know Rangnick has built a good reputation through his career – he has been an inspiration to the likes of [Jurgen] Klopp, [Thomas] Tuchel and {Julian] Nagelsmann with his pressing style of play.

‘The impressive reputation he has in Germany has seemingly led the United board to consider his appointment, in many ways if it transpires then it appears a logical appointment – a step for stability.

Kanchelskis says United would benefit from keeping Carrick as it would bring some stability

‘Here in Russia, at Lokomotiv Moscow, he has not done a huge amount to change their current situation in his role as director of football – which I’d describe as a little complex to say the least.

‘They need to look at a different approach to have some success. We haven’t seen a huge impact in the six months he’s had but he’s not been here a long time in the role. 

‘It’s hard to make such an impact in that time.

‘I did feel Carrick should have stayed in the role until the end of the season, but it seems like that is not to be and hopefully this is the start of a return to form for the team and an upcoming period of stability.’
