Gary Neville believes Michael Carrick's impressive interim spell at Manchester United will force former head coach Ruben Amorim to reconsider his managerial approach. Carrick has guided United to five wins and one draw in six matches since taking over, including a 1-0 victory over Everton that lifted the team back into the Premier League's top four.
Carrick quickly abandoned Amorim's 3-4-2-1 formation in favour of a 4-2-3-1 system, recalled Kobbie Mainoo from exile, shortened training sessions and adjusted arrival times. The changes have sparked a revival, with United now just three points behind third-placed Aston Villa.
Neville told Sky Sports: 'Ruben Amorim must be sat at home thinking, what will I do differently in the future? Maybe I am being a bit too stubborn.' Amorim was sacked in January after winning only 24 of 63 matches in charge.
United next host Crystal Palace on Sunday before facing Newcastle and Aston Villa. Carrick's success has raised questions about whether Amorim's rigid tactics were the root cause of the team's struggles.
