Lee Sharpe has sounded a trophy-winning warning to Manchester United new permanent boss, Michael Carrick. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Stressing that Carrick is currently managing one of the biggest clubs in the world, Sharpe revealed that the club legend has to guarantee a trophy at the end of every season to be considered a success.
Lee added that delivering trophies consistently basically comes with the territory as MUFC coach.
Hi words, “Absolutely. He’s at one of the biggest, if not the biggest club in the world, so if you’re not winning things at the end of every season, then there’s definitely questions asked and pressure to be mounted.
I think he’ll be expecting to win something. I think the fans will. I think the board will. There’s no hiding it. You have to win everything and win something every year. That just goes with the territory.
I think you should learn from managers you’ve played under and take little bits from them, but certainly the winning mentality from Sir Alex. He wanted to win every game, no matter whether it was home or away, if it was a tough game or an easy game, every game needed to be won and I think Michael’s the same as that.
I think there’s a discipline he has in and around the dressing room during games, during training, even in pre-season games this season. I think he has the right attitude from everyone.
I don’t know if there’s anything specific, but just work ethic and a winning mentality. I think the main thing is to get the team starting on the front foot from the first whistle. I think too many times over the last few seasons they’ve started off a little bit shoddy and a little bit lacklustre and teams have nipped in front. Then it’s hard to come and get results back, but I think if you can get on the front foot and start positive and put teams under pressure, I think he’s got a chance of doing well.”
