Michael Owen has given his verdict on Michael Carrick's future at Manchester UnitedFormer Manchester United striker Michael Owen is baffled that ex-players are proving so hasty in questioning Michael Carrick's credentials to continue leading the club beyond the current campaign. Carrick has propelled United into contention for Champions League football, having accumulated 23 points across his 10 fixtures at the helm. This is absolutely unbelievable what we're seeing from Manchester United. I mean if the league started when Carrick took over, Manchester United at the top of the league. I'm astounded by certain people saying 'No, no, no, they shouldn't appoint him', astounded.
