Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has backed Michael Carrick to one day take charge at Manchester United and believes his former assistant is destined for the role.
Carrick is currently working wonders at Middlesbrough following his appointment in October, taking the Teesside club from just above the Championship relegation zone into the playoffs, where they meet Coventry in a two-legged semi-final. The 41-year-old honed his coaching skills alongside Solskjaer before leading United for three matches after the Norwegian had been sacked.
United picked up two wins and a draw in that time, though Solskjaer claims Carrick admitted to him he did not want the job full-time. Yet the former Red Devils boss believes Carrick possesses all the qualities for the Old Trafford hotseat, should his heart desire.
