Paul Parker believes Michael Carrick has put himself in prime position to get the Manchester United job permanently if he finishes the season strongly and seals Champions League football. Parker told Goal that Carrick has exceeded expectations already and does not need to behave like a touchline showman to prove his worth. He argued United do not need a celebrity appointment and should judge Carrick on calm leadership, results and the way the team closes the season.
