Carrick keen to balance short-term success with building for the future

Manchester United interim head coach Michael Carrick said the rapid turnover of managers in the Premier ​League will not affect how he approaches the ‌job and he remains focused on the bigger picture at the club rather than his own future. Liam Rosenior’s departure from Chelsea ​on Wednesday marked the 10th managerial casualty ​in England’s top flight this season. Carrick, who took ⁠over at United in January following the sacking of ​Ruben Amorim, said there was a balance to be ​struck between short-term success and building for the future. “There are two sides to it,” the 44-year-old told reporters on Thursday. “There ​are instant results and the next game being important, ​but there’s definitely a responsibility, our thinking of what the future ‌looks ⁠like and the bigger picture. “There are all sorts of what-ifs in this world. Half full, half empty? I like to live my life in a positive ​way. I don’t ​think of ⁠what could go wrong, that doesn’t come into it. It’s what can be ​achieved. What success looks like.” United have impressed ​under ⁠Carrick, winning eight and drawing two of their 12 matches to sit third in the league. Six points from ⁠their ​remaining five games would secure ​Champions League qualification after a two-year absence. United next face Brentford on Monday.
