Manchester United caretaker manager Michael Carrick claims he has learnt alot in the past few days.
Manchester United interim manager Michael Carrick has stated that he has learnt a lot in the past few days.
The former Manchester United player took charge of the team shortly after former manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer was sacked.
Speaking ahead of the game against Arsenal Carrick said: “I think you always have your own ideas, whether it be a player, certainly players have got their own ideas, as a coach, a manager or whatever it may be.
“As an individual, there’s certain things you prefer or certain things that come natural to you. I’m always prepared to learn, I’ve obviously learned an awful lot over the last week. I’ve learnt on the job, if you like, but as a back-up I’ve seen what goes on close hand over recent years. So, it was a bit of a step but maybe not as much as people think.”
United have appointed Ralf Rangnick as their interim manager and Carrick stated that he has not spoken to the German yet.
“No, it’s pretty much as it was with the both games we’ve been to. Because of the process and the work permit, we haven’t been able to, so we’ve carried on as we have done. It’s worked well for the last two games and hopefully it will as well tomorrow.”
Carrick benched Cristiano Ronaldo against Chelsea and the caretaker manager said decisions are made for different reasons.
“I think those type of decisions get blown up really, I think a lot are. When you’re inside it, the team or the club, decisions are made for a lot of different reasons. Of course, certain ones get bigger news than others but that’s how it was.
“I didn’t see anything to make a decision, it certainly wasn’t within the camp or the group. We all got on really well, the game went well to an extent as well, and it wasn’t a drama at all.”
