OneFootball x Rick Astley: Carrick deserves a shot at the Man Utd job
As part of OneFootball's collaboration series with Shoot Music we're interviewing an artist every week about their love of football.
This week it's pop legend and huge Manchester United fan, Rick Astley.
When did you start supporting Manchester United and why?
I started supporting Manchester United when I was very young because my older brother did.
What is your favourite memory of supporting Man Utd as a child?
My brother once got a Red Devils rug for his room for Christmas and I thought it was so cool.
This is set to be a huge summer for Man Utd - is Michael Carrick the right man to lead them into next season?
Michael Carrick has been great for United and definitely deserves to be in the running for the full time job. Something tells me he wonât be the only one, though.
Who has been Man Utd's unsung hero this season and deserves more love?
Harry Maguire has been fantastic this year. He has been a stable force when we needed it. He is good with the ball and his passing is much better than people give him credit for.
With Chelsea in crisis, Man City's legal issues, Liverpool struggling and Arsenal not able to get over the line, are you optimistic about a proper Premier League title charge next term?
We are going to have to dig in next year. I think a Champions League place is realistic once again, but winning the Premier League is another year away.
Rick Astleyâs new single, 'Raindrops', is out now.
