Famous football pundit Gary Lineker has expressed doubts about Michael Carrick despite his leading Manchester United to wins over Manchester City and Arsenal.
On 27 Jan 2026 GMT+7, famous football pundit Gary Lineker revealed his doubts about Michael Carrick, the English interim manager, even though he led the "Red Devils" Manchester United to victories over the "Sky Blues" Manchester City and the "Gunners" Arsenal.
It is understood that Michael Carrick returned as interim manager of Manchester's red team for the second time and performed excellently by winning both matches against two top teams: a 2-0 home victory over Manchester City and a 3-2 away win against Arsenal.
Recently, Gary Lineker said, "It will be very interesting to see how Michael Carrick’s Manchester United handles teams that sit deep defensively because we have seen over many seasons that the team’s best days often come against big teams that attack them openly. So Carrick’s next test is whether he can break down those deep defenses while also not leaving gaps vulnerable to counterattacks."
