Football Digest: Man Utd urged to give Ten Hag time he needs<\/h3>\n

Manchester United have consistently churned out players-turned-coaches and right now,\u00a0Sir Alex Ferguson\u2019s coaching tree spans across many leagues and countries. Plenty of club icons have switched to become a manager since retiring and at a time when the pressure on current Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag is mounting, Express Sport\u00a0looks at five former United players who could one day end up in the top job…<\/p>\n

Michael Carrick<\/h2>\n

Michael Carrick has already had a taste of being United manager, having taken charge of three games as caretaker following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer\u2019s sacking in 2021. The ex-midfielder is highly regarded as a coach, having gone on to take the Middlesbrough job last season and guided them from one point above the relegation zone to a fourth-placed finish.<\/p>\n

Middlesbrough have suffered a blip this year, but a six-match win streak has propelled them forward. It would not be a surprise to see Carrick coaching in the Premier League in the near future and he could be just a few steps away from returning to the boss\u2019 seat at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Wayne Rooney<\/h2>\n

Wayne Rooney has recently returned to the UK after coaching DC United in MLS, having taken charge of Birmingham in the Championship. He recently faced off against Carrick and suffered a 1-0 defeat, one of the three losses he has overseen since John Eustace was sacked in favour of the United and England legend.<\/p>\n

Many at the club would surely love for Rooney – the club’s all-time top goalscorer – to come back as manager and time could be on his side if Ten Hag is given time to turn United\u2019s fortunes around. However, his start at Birmingham will not have inspired confidence that he could return to Manchester as a head coach.<\/p>\n
