Benjamin Sesko wants ‘unbelievable’ Michael Carrick to stay on as Man Utd boss after bringing ‘different energy’ to squad

Benjamin Sesko has sent a clear message to the Manchester United hierarchy, urging the club to hand Michael Carrick the manager’s job on a permanent basis. The Slovenian striker has flourished under the interim boss and believes the former midfielder has completely transformed the atmosphere at Old Trafford.

Since taking the reins on an interim basis, Carrick has overseen a remarkable upturn in form, guiding the Red Devils to 29 points from a possible 39 across 13 matches. The latest victory, a 2-1 win over Brentford on Monday, has put United 11 points clear of sixth-placed Brighton with just four games remaining. With Champions League football all but secured, the players are beginning to speak out in support of the man who has steadied the ship. Sesko, who has scored six of his 10 league goals under Carrick, is leadings those calls.
