#Carrick #keen #balance #shortterm #success #building #future">Carrick keen to balance short-term success with building for the future Manchester United interim head coach Michael Carrick said the rapid turnover of managers in the Premier League will not affect how he approaches the job and he remains focused on the bigger picture at the club rather than his own future.
Liam Rosenior’s departure from Chelsea on Wednesday marked the 10th managerial casualty in England’s top flight this season.
Carrick, who took over at United in January following the sacking of Ruben Amorim, said there was a balance to be struck between short-term success and building for the future.
“There are two sides to it,” the 44-year-old told reporters on Thursday.
“There are instant results and the next game being important, but there’s definitely a responsibility, our thinking of what the future looks like and the bigger picture.
“There are all sorts of what-ifs in this world. Half full, half empty? I like to live my life in a positive way. I don’t think of what could go wrong, that doesn’t come into it. It’s what can be achieved. What success looks like.”
United has impressed under Carrick, winning eight and drawing two of its 12 matches to sit third in the league. Six points from its remaining five games would secure Champions League qualification after a two-year absence.
United next faces Brentford on Monday.

Manchester United centre back Harry Maguire will miss the Premier League match at Chelsea after receiving a one-match ban following a misconduct charge, the English Football Association said on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old England international, who earlier this month signed a new contract extending his stay at Old Trafford until 2027, was charged after being sent off in the 78th minute of United’s 2-2 draw at Bournemouth last month.
The FA said that Maguire was alleged to have “acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards the fourth official following his dismissal.”
He admitted the charge and has also been fined 30,000 pounds ($40,710).
United will also be without Argentine centre back Lisandro Martinez, who will miss the club’s next three matches – against Chelsea, Brentford and Liverpool – after receiving a red card for violent conduct in Monday’s 2-1 home defeat by Leeds United.
Martinez was sent off in the 56th minute for pulling the hair of Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
United, who is third in the standings with 55 points from 32 games, travels to sixth-placed Chelsea on Saturday.
