Under the interim guidance of Michael Carrick, United have seen a significant upshift in results, putting them firmly in contention for Champions League qualification. Maguire has been highly impressed by the former midfielder's impact, praising his tactical acumen and communication skills, and has backed him for the permanent managerial role.
"Carrick coming in, he’s been amazing. He speaks really, really well. He’s tactically very, very good," the defender explained. "I think there’s seven games left. We’ve put ourselves in a great position. I think we’ve got to finish the season strong, and I think he should go right into the mix of the other candidates and let the process begin."
