Sky Sports News senior reporter Rob Dorsett at Carrington:"I was told when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer met with Jason Wilcox he understandably, to a large extent, said, 'If I do a good job and get you Champions League football, what is the reward? I'd like something written into my contract that says if I achieve that, then there is a substantive contract at the end of it.'"No such requests from Michael Carrick significantly, he has played a blinder here and managed the situation very, very well - he knows the best way for him to get the job long term at Man Utd is to get Champions League football, to win matches and get the crowd behind him and he has the perfect opportunity to do that with 17 games of the Premier League remaining."But as things stand right now, I do not think he is a realistic contender for the job long term and Man Utd have learned a lesson from appointing Ruben Amorim and Erik ten Hag before him that they need someone who is one of the elite of world coaching, someone who is a big name who has the personality to cope with the size of club Man Utd is and the unique challenges it poses."You are talking about Thomas Tuchel, Carlo Ancelotti, Roberto De Zerbi, Luis Enrique, Marco Silva, Oliver Glasner - big names who Man Utd think would be able to cope with the size of the job this is. When Amorin was sacked last week, we learned that he had told confidants he was surprised how much nose there was around the Man Utd role and how big the job was."So I do not think Man Utd will make the same mistake again and appoint an up-and-coming coach, they want someone who has been there and done it. But Carrick is the man in possession, he has an opportunity. He has an horrific start against Man City at home and Arsenal away, but if he can get results in those two matches, there will be a positive mood to take United through the rest of the season."
