Michael Owen stated he is surprised people doubt Michael Carrick's suitability for the permanent manager role at Manchester United.
Carrick took over as caretaker head coach in January after the previous manager was sacked.
He previously played for Manchester United, making 464 appearances for the club.
Since taking charge, Carrick has guided the team to six wins in eight games.
This successful run has seen the club improve its standing in the league.
Owen's comments suggest a strong endorsement of Carrick's leadership and tactical abilities.
