'I still wouldn’t be giving him the job'- Keane disagrees with Viera for suggesting Carrick's permanent appointment

Carrick has enjoyed a remarkable run in his temporary spells, securing wins against top managers like Guardiola and Arteta.

His latest triumph was a dramatic 3-2 victory over Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday, putting a dent in the Gunners' title charge.

The result gives Carrick a perfect record of six points from two matches since taking over from Darren Fletcher.

The former United captain made his stance clear during a heated debate on Sky Sports with fellow pundits Patrick Vieira and Micah Richards. Keane remains unconvinced that the former midfielder is the right man for the job long-term.

When asked by Richards if Carrick's performance warranted a permanent appointment, Keane was characteristically blunt. 

"No, you’re being silly now," he responded. "He’s had two great performances, but anybody can win two games."

"Even if they do get into fourth, I still wouldn’t be convinced he’s the man for the job, absolutely not. They need a bigger and better manager, but he’s got the opportunity. What a chance it is for him and you know what, he’s taken it. Fair play to him."

The pundit later doubled down on his position, arguing that even an undefeated run until May would not change his mind.

"I think if United win every game from now until the end of the season, I still wouldn’t be giving him the job," Keane added. "I just think they need a bigger, more experienced manager, it’s as simple as that."

Former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira offered a different perspective, suggesting Carrick deserved a chance, citing other young managers who have succeeded at top clubs.

"I think you have young managers with no experience who deserve to have a chance," Vieira argued. "You look at Inter Milan with Cristian Chivu, who is now top of the league in Serie A. And he’s doing a good job... I think he [Carrick] deserves to have a chance at Manchester United."
