Ex-Middlesbrough star Emmanuel Latte Lath flags Michael Carrick concern amid Man United woes

Former Middlesbrough striker Emmanuel Latte Lath has suggested that Manchester United manager Michael Carrick could sometimes be "too calm" as a coach. Carrick faces severe pressure following United's poor start to the season, collecting only seven points from seven Premier League games and suffering consecutive Champions League losses, including a 4-1 defeat to Como.

Latte Lath reflected on his time working under Carrick at Middlesbrough, noting that while Carrick was supportive and knew what to say in difficult moments, his demeanor could occasionally be overly calm. Amid escalating scrutiny, United executives Jason Wilcox and Christopher Vivell reportedly hold differing preferences for potential replacements, including Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann.
