Man Utd board questioned for keeping Michael Carrick after sacking Solskjaer

Manchester United legend Roy Keane has questioned the club’s decision to keep Michael Carrick even though he was assistant manager under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Keane told Sky Sports: “I wouldn’t be one for getting rid of all the staff but they have to be held accountable, all the staff.

“They weren’t just with Ole, they were with Mourinho as well before that, and what are they going to stay on with the new manager? [That’s] not necessarily [right], not if they’re not up to the job.

“Some of the staff have been here a number of years. I get the impression of Man United in the last few years, whether it be some of the backroom staff or people upstairs, I think there is an element now of a job for the boys now, ‘a job for the boys, wink, wink, look after each other, know the right people’.

“That’s why they’re eighth or ninth in the league.”
