Michael Owen said he “can’t believe people are wondering” whether Michael Carrick should become Manchester United’s permanent manager.
Former midfielder Carrick, who made 464 appearances for United, was appointed interim coach after Ruben Amorim was sacked last January.
The 44-year-old won six of his eight matches, moving the club from sixth to third in the Premier League.
Former Manchester United and England striker Owen, who played alongside Carrick at Old Trafford between 2009 and 2012, believes he has “restored calm to the club.”
“I can’t believe people are wondering if he should get the job,” Owen said on the latest edition of BBC’s The Wayne Rooney Show.
“Manchester United have waited about 12 years, they have looked for proven legends, everything since Sir Alex [Ferguson].
“And the time they started playing well, getting results, the fans were on board – you’re telling me that at the end of the season if we get third [place] They’ll say, “Thanks, but no thanks.” How is that possible?”
Rooney, who has praised Carrick and previously said the interim manager gave United fans a taste of the Fergie era, agrees with Owen.
Rooney said: “Everyone at Manchester United loves Michael Carrick, and they are afraid that things are not going well. He has done an incredible job.”
It is understood that the club are looking for other candidates – alongside Carrick – to take over as permanent manager in the summer.
