Carrick: Uncertainty Doesn't Affect Me, I Don't Know When My Future Will Be Clear
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has assured that he is not concerned by the club's management yet to decide on his permanent appointment. The former midfielder was temporarily placed in charge until the end of the season, but has significantly stabilized results and has expressed his desire to stay and continue his work. He stated that there is no specific deadline by which he expects to hear the board's decision.
“I enjoy being here, I enjoy the role I'm in. We've achieved good results and are in form, but there's still a lot to do. We want to improve. There are levels we truly want to reach. We'll see. I keep telling you the same things every week because that's all I can say on the matter. I love being here and I love doing this. It's a real privilege to be in this position.
I wouldn't say anything surprises me, because I've been here a long time and seen a lot. Working with the players is what I enjoy. That's my great passion – helping them develop and achieve results to share with the fans.
I don't know when there will be clarity regarding my job. I'm not sure, and there's no deadline I'm chasing. It will become clear when it becomes clear. I'm here right now to help the team and the club achieve results. And we're doing well at the moment.
Does the uncertainty surrounding the job at Manchester United affect me? Not particularly, not my daily life, not my thinking about how we work with the players and how I approach my job,” Carrick stated at his press conference ahead of the Brentford match, which is scheduled for Monday evening.
The Englishman added that Patrick Dorgu, who sustained an injury during the victory over Arsenal in January and missed the subsequent 10 matches, is getting closer to returning to action.
“Patrick is working well, making progress, and is getting closer to starting training with us, which is positive. Leny Yoro? We're still working on it. There's a possibility he could return for the next match, but it's not 100% certain yet."
