Former Chelsea player and current pundit Jason Cundy has publicly advised Manchester United to pursue Unai Emery as their next manager. Cundy, speaking on The Sports Bar, argued that the club should acknowledge the appointment of Michael Carrick as a mistake. He insisted that the leadership should act immediately to secure Emery rather than waiting until the Christmas period.
The club originally brought in Carrick as an interim manager last season. Following a successful run of results, he was awarded a two-year contract, which includes an option for an additional year. Despite the recent calls for a change, Carrick remains unfazed by the ongoing media speculation surrounding his position at Old Trafford.
Addressing the pressure, Carrick stated that he is not panicking over the club’s current situation. He emphasized his commitment to the role, noting that he is primarily focused on making necessary improvements at the club. Meanwhile, former Tottenham player Jamie O’Hara has expressed skepticism regarding a potential move, questioning why Emery would choose to leave Aston Villa, as he believes the team at Villa Park is currently in a better position for the manager.
The debate comes as Manchester United navigates a difficult start to the campaign, having managed only one victory in their first four Premier League matches, including two defeats. Their struggles have been compounded by an early exit from the Carabao Cup following a loss to Brighton & Hove Albion. The report also notes that he urged the Red Devils to make the switch to Emery and not wait until Christmas and said.
