Diallo Backs Carrick for Permanent United Role

Published April 7, 2026 · Updated April 7, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Amad Diallo has thrown his support behind Michael Carrick to become Manchester United's permanent manager, praising the interim boss's understanding of the club.

Manchester United winger Amad Diallo has backed interim manager Michael Carrick to take the job permanently, saying the former midfielder has the "DNA" required to restore the club's identity. Carrick has overseen a remarkable turnaround since replacing Ruben Amorim, guiding United to seven wins and just one defeat in ten matches.

The 23-year-old Ivory Coast international's comments come as United's hierarchy remain cautious about making a final decision until the season concludes. With seven games remaining, United require four wins and a draw to secure a return to the Champions League after a two-year absence. Striker Bryan Mbeumo also praised Carrick's "clear, calm and effective" leadership as the team prepares for their remaining fixtures.
