‘I’m not saying it’s going to go wrong. What Manchester United have had for the last six months, need that for another 12 months of not being the circus, not being the story all the time, and Carrick brings you that,’ he said on The Overlap Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet.

‘But has he got that stardust to win the biggest trophy? And I think you need to get to a strong position of being a proper Champions League club again. And then, right, what do we need? It’s like a player gets you to a certain level, then we need that stardust.

‘I personally just don’t think Michael Carrick’s got that stardust as a manager to win a Champions League or a Premier League.

‘I don’t believe Michael Carrick will win the league or the Champions League with Manchester United, but he’s done a really good job

‘He could have a good season and put Manchester United in a position to then go and get a Champions League-winning manager.’

He also expressed surprise that United passed up on signing midfielder Mateus Fernandes for £85 million.

‘I was a little bit worried when I saw United linked with Fernandes because I thought that could be a good signing,’ he said.

‘I just looked at him and his age and was surprised United didn’t go for Fernandes. They said it was too expensive but was it that expensive?

‘I know £85m is a lot but you’re never going to get a really top midfielder now for £50m.’
