'Michael Carrick told me: "Management's not for me"': Nicky Butt's damning revelations on private conversations with Man United boss as he becomes second-favourite for the sack

Former Manchester United star Nicky Butt has bizarrely claimed Michael Carrick told him 'management's not for me' before he took the job at Old Trafford. Carrick, 45, returned to the club where he earned legendary status as a player in January in the aftermath of Ruben Amorim 's sacking. Despite a strong end to last season where he guided United to third place, Carrick already finds himself under pressure this time around after picking up six points from six matches.
