Manchester United is taking its time to find a new manager, despite Michael Carrick's impressive start to his second stint in charge. The 3-0 win over Crystal Palace and the draw at Fulham suggest that Carrick's tenure has not been a disaster. However, with Premier League managers' jobs coming up for grabs and international teams gearing up for major tournaments, United's decision-makers are cautious about making a long-term appointment.
If they wait until the summer to announce their manager, it will give them more time to assess all potential candidates. This approach is reminiscent of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tenure from 2018 to 2022. When Mourinho was sacked in December that year, Solskjaer took over as caretaker boss and won eight games on the trot.
The current United manager's unorthodox tactics and ability to get results have led some to question whether they should give Carrick a permanent job. However, with players like Harry Maguire out of contract and targets for new signings, it is natural that everyone wants clarity on the managerial situation.
Carrick remains confident in his team's abilities and believes they can achieve more. United themselves are staying tight-lipped about their plans, but it appears that patience will be the key to finding the right manager.

, and they don't want to rush into anything that might not work out in the long run. But at the same time, it feels like they're playing it too safe - what if someone else comes along and beats them to it? 
. I mean, Solskjaer took over with a caretaker role and still managed to win eight games on the trot... maybe Carrick could do something similar? 
The squad's got some big players out of contract soon, so they need to get that sorted before they can focus on who's going to be their next boss. Patience is one thing, but a bit of decisiveness wouldn't go amiss either... 
Anyway, I guess it's better to wait for the summer, that way they can have a nice big pot of jam in case one candidate doesn't work out 
. Reminds me of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's 'caretaker' days - won 8 games on the trot... what's the opposite of that? losing 8 games on the trot? 
.
. I mean, they gotta make sure they get someone who can bring some consistency and stability to the team after all the ups and downs they've had in recent years. And let's be real, Michael Carrick's been doing a pretty solid job so far, getting them those wins against Crystal Palace and Fulham 
. But at the same time, it's not like they can just keep him on forever... I think they need to weigh their options and see what other top managers are out there.
.
. But I guess when you're United, patience is a virtue 
.
. It's also interesting how they're waiting it out until the summer to announce their new gaffer. If they do, I hope they'll find someone who can build on Carrick's good vibes 
.
... i get it, carrick is doing alright so far, but come on, give us some clarity already! 
the players need to know what's next and the fans are getting restless 
meanwhile, other teams are making moves left and right... maybe they should've thought of that before 
. Maybe they just need a little more time to figure out what works best for this squad."

. Plus, it's always good to have some time to assess all the different options and see who'd be the best fit for the team.
carrick's been doing alright so far, 3-0 win and a draw at fulham? that's some good vibes 
but you can't help but wonder why they're being so slow to make a decision 
it's like they're waiting for the perfect candidate or something. maybe they should just go with someone who can get results, like ole did when he took over as caretaker boss? 
only time will tell
