Former England duo **Joe Cole** and **Owen Hargreaves** have sent a clear message to the **Manchester United** hierarchy regarding the club's managerial vacancy.

**Carrick** has transformed the mood at **United** since stepping in to replace **Ruben Amorim**, and the calls for him to be handed the reins full-time are growing deafening. Following a massive **1-0** victory over **Chelsea** at Stamford Bridge, which saw **Matheus Cunha** net the winner, the Red Devils have opened up a significant gap in the race for Champions League qualification.
- **Carrick** has collected **26 points** - more than any other Premier League manager in that period.
