From the source

Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt have given their snap verdicts on possible successors to Michael Carrick at Manchester United. With Michael Carrick on the brink, Manchester United supporters are facing up to the possibility of a new head coach being appointed.

Former players Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes have been asked for their verdicts on a number of potential replacements for Michael Carrick, if the current boss is fired.

United have only managed seven points from eight games to start the 2026/27 season. In a segment for The Good, The Bad & The Football, Butt and Scholes could only agree on three possible managers to replace Carrick out of 11 names suggested.
