Carragher makes Carrick prediction after Man Utd beat Brentford

Jamie Carragher has predicted Michael Carrick will land the Man Utd job on a permanent basis at the end of the season after guiding the team to victory over Brentford.

Casemiro and Benjamin Sesko both scored at Old Trafford on Monday evening and the Red Devils held on for the win after Mathias Jensen pulled one back with an excellent finish in the second half.

The result moved United back into third place ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League table, taking them closer to Champions League qualification. They are now 11 points ahead of Brighton in sixth.

Jamie Carragher predicts Michael Carrick will get Man Utd job

With nine wins from 13 games since replacing Ruben Amorim on an interim basis, Carrick’s claim for the position beyond this season continues to grow.

Carragher believes it is now inevitable the former Man Utd midfielder will be given the job in the summer, following an “absolutely sensational” run of results under his leadership.

“He’s going to be the Manchester United manager, certainly next season, no doubt about that – and you can’t say he doesn’t deserve it,” the pundit told Sky Sports.
