He avoids obsessing over opponents and tries to switch off from football so the pressure at club and national level does not take over. He describes spending time with friends and family, playing games, and staying away from constant tactical video study. He also said he is excited for the World Cup experience, including visiting Mexico for the first time and trying local food.

Owen argues United should not automatically chase a big-name coach if Carrick keeps this level and delivers Champions League qualification. He says the performances look more stable and confident than anything United have shown in years.

He frames Carrick’s fit, calm control, and player buy-in as reasons to commit if results hold.

Manchester United’s tentative talks about a revenue-friendly Middle East exhibition match have been paused, with Carrick’s appetite for the trip reportedly lower than under Amorim.
