Manchester United legend David Beckham has thrown his support behind interim manager Michael Carrick, hailing the former midfielder's impact in restoring stability at Old Trafford. Beckham, speaking to talkSPORT, said Carrick has brought "a calmness" and "experience" that the club has lacked for a decade, adding that the team now looks united and confident under his guidance. Carrick, 44, took charge on January 13 after Ruben Amorim's dismissal and has overseen a dramatic turnaround. In 75 days, he has managed 10 Premier League matches, securing seven wins, two draws, and only one defeat. United's average of 2.30 points per game under Carrick contrasts sharply with Amorim's 1.55 points per game across 20 matches. https://twitter.com/USER_ID/status/2037860731337449618 Beckham praises calm leadership Beckham, now co-owner of MLS side Inter Miami, praised Carrick's demeanor on the touchline: There's an elegance in the way he is, whether it's the way he celebrates or gets angry. The way he's brought the team together has been incredible. As a United fan, it's exactly what we needed. David Beckham Wayne Rooney has echoed Beckham's sentiments, insisting Carrick should be given the job permanently. Speaking to the BBC, Rooney said: 100% he should get the job. I knew this was going to happen with Michael. It needed a calm head, someone who knows the place and the players needed some love, and he has given them that. https://twitter.com/USER_ID/status/2033821137000374696 ManU faces a tough stretch United face a crucial run-in with seven league fixtures remaining as they chase Champions League qualification.
