Speaking in Ireland, during Manchester United’s training camp during the 24 day period of no matches, Amad Diallo has spoken about the squad’s hopes for Michael Carrick to be given the job on a permanent basis.

United have had the best form of any team in the league since Carrick took charge and Amad hopes the interim manager stays and continues to help bring success to the club.

Obviously, it’s not for us as players to decide his future but he’s been great. He’s done so much for the team, he has a lot of experience, he knows the club, he has been in the house.

We think he’s the right man and we’re really happy for what he’s doing right now. We have had a good experience with him, playing under him, it’s not for us to decide but we are going to try and take as much as we can from him.

He knows the club, he played for the club, he has great experience to manage this club. He’s been here not too long but he’s done very well. His relationship with every player is very good and sometimes you need this kind of manager to bring the club to where they belong. From a personal view, he’s the right man but it’s not the players who decide.

I think the club will decide at the end of the season but my honest opinion is we are really happy to have Michael Carrick as manager that’s it. Since he arrived in the club he’s been clear he wants to win, he wants to reach the Champions League next season and he has been working with each player. So he is working really well and we are really happy to have him as manager.
