Manchester United Co-owner Praises Michael Carrick but Avoids Comment on Permanent Role

Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe praised interim coach Michael Carrick's performance, describing it as "excellent," as the team rose to third place in the Premier League. Carrick, appointed in January after Ruben Amorim's departure, has led United to six wins in eight games. When asked about Carrick's permanent appointment, Ratcliffe declined to comment.
