Michael Owen has stated his support for Michael Carrick to become the permanent manager of Manchester United. Owen expressed surprise that Carrick's suitability for the role is being questioned.

Under Carrick's guidance, the team has achieved a strong record. They have won six out of their eight matches in charge.
The club has seen an improvement in performance during this period. This has led to speculation about Carrick's future role.
Owen's comments highlight positive sentiment towards Carrick within the football community.
Carrick has previously served as a coach for the club.
