Jamie Carragher commented with utter cynicism on Michael Carrick’s “divorce” from Manchester United.
Following the English coach’s departure from the “Red Devils,” the former Liverpool captain and current commentator remarked:
ΣΧΕΤΙΚΑ ΑΡΘΡΑ
Manchester United: Carrick’s departure is official
Manchester united: Michael carrick fired
“Carrick got the job at United based on… nothing. He was hired primarily because he had played for the team.”
And continuing in an equally sharp tone, he concluded:
“I’m not upset, nor do I feel sorry for Michael Carrick. He spent two years at Middlesbrough, then became a commentator, and they gave him the job at Manchester United. He got them into the Champions League, yes, but he was never among the top coaches.”

𝗡𝗘𝗪: Jamie Carragher says there is no need to feel sorry for Michael Carrick getting sacked.
"Michael Carrick got the Manchester United job based on NOTHING! He got the job on basically having PLAYED FOR for Manchester United." "I am NOT SAD or FEELING SORRY for Michael Carrick!" "He had 2 years at Middlesbrough, he then did some punditry and they gave him the Manchester United job!" "He got them in the Champions League, yes, but he was NEVER among the caliber of the best managers."
