Roy Keane believes Manchester United have regained their swagger following a 3-2 win against Arsenal, but the former midfielder is unconvinced that Michael Carrick is the right man to take the club to league title success.
Carrick has overseen two impressive wins in his short tenure as head coach, including the dramatic victory at Emirates Stadium. However, Keane's comments suggest he remains skeptical about Carrick's long-term prospects for the role.
"To be honest, I still don't think he's the man to get them winning league titles," Keane said on Sky Sports. "If United win every game until the end of the season, I still wouldn't be giving him the job."
Keane believes that a manager with more experience and a proven track record is needed at Old Trafford. He names Thomas Tuchel and Carlo Ancelotti as potential long-term replacements for Carrick.
"They need a bigger and better manager," Keane said. "The size of the club and the challenges they face over the next few years, you want a manager who you feel can get them winning league titles."
Despite his doubts about Carrick's ability to lead the team to long-term success, Keane acknowledges that the interim coach has done well in his short time at the helm. He praised Carrick's performances against Arsenal and Manchester City, but emphasized that much work remains to be done.
"It's only been 10 days, so it was never going to be perfect," Carrick said after securing his second win as head coach. "We couldn't expect to come here and suddenly dominate the whole game and the ball. We're just starting off, really."
Keane agrees with Carrick's assessment, but stresses that more needs to be done to build on recent performances.
"We need to put more layers on top, and we'll try to do that in the coming weeks," Keane said.

anyway, i was thinking of getting a new gaming laptop soon but dont know if ill get it or not... think about how expensive them are 
also, did u catch that game against arsenal? what a comeback by man united 
️
. United need a solid foundation before they can start thinking about winning league titles. And yeah, Tuchel and Ancelotti would be awesome picks, but let's focus on Carrick for now 
.
That's just not realistic. A few wins don't make a season, and we need to see some consistency before we start talking about long-term success 
.
. He knows it's been 10 days and they're still getting the hang of things. Let's give him the support he needs instead of doubting his abilities right off the bat 
, but I gotta agree with Roy Keane - they need a bigger manager 
. Carrick has done a great job so far, especially against Arsenal and City, but he needs more experience to take them all the way in the league 
. Tuchel or Ancelotti would be amazing additions 
!
. If United keep winning games like they have been, maybe Carrick'll surprise us all and prove Keane wrong 
.
. Manchester United had some rough patches under olly guardiola and yet they still finished top of the league 
.
I can imagine how tough it must be for Michael Carrick to step into such a big role after Roy Keane's comments 
. It's like, he's already doing his best with just 10 days under his belt, and we're expecting him to lead the team to league titles? That's a lot of pressure 
.
. I mean, it's not easy to turn around a struggling team in just 2-3 games, and yet Carrick's already had two impressive wins 
. Don't get me wrong, Keane has every right to have doubts, but some constructive feedback would've been nice 
. It's like they're having a real conversation about football rather than just going through the motions 
. The fact that even with two impressive wins, he's still unsure if Carrick can lead United to league title success says a lot 
. As much as we'd love to see our teams succeed, it's essential to acknowledge the harsh reality of the situation 
. We need more than just temporary fixes 
; we require experienced managers who can build on recent performances and take us to the next level 
.
won't say united are out of title contention just yet 
. I'm not sure what Keane would have done differently as a manager, but it's clear he's got the club's best interests at heart 
what do u think though?
anyways gotta give keane credit for keeping it real though 
Like, isn't he doing a pretty good job so far? 2 wins in as many games, yeah that's impressive! 
. We need a long-term plan here, not just short-term fixes 
. I'm not convinced that he's the long-term solution either... maybe someone like Tuchel or Ancelotti would be better suited for the job?
