Carrick in line to manage Crystal Palace after Manchester United sacking

Michael Carrick's name has emerged as a candidate to take over as manager of Crystal Palace, just one day after his dismissal from his position as head coach of Manchester United.

According to "TEAMtalk", talkSPORT reporter Angelina Kelly has nominated Michael Carrick for the role, believing he deserves another chance after being a victim of the administrative issues at Manchester United.

Kelly noted that the English manager finished last season in third place in the Premier League, and succeeded in improving the performance of several players, despite his recent struggles with Manchester United.

His nomination came after the dismissal of Frenchman Pierre Sage from his role at Crystal Palace, while Thomas Frank, the former Brentford and Tottenham manager, is the frontrunner to succeed him.

Kelly believes that managing Crystal Palace could give Carrick the chance to prove his abilities away from the pressures surrounding Manchester United, although he may prefer to take a break before deciding on his next step.
