Manchester United's interim head coach, Michael Carrick, has emphasized that the rapid turnover of managers in the Premier League will not change his approach to the role. Despite the uncertainty that surrounds managerial positions, Carrick remains focused on the bigger picture at United, rather than his own future.

Liam Rosenior's departure from Chelsea this week marked the 10th managerial change in England's top flight this season, underscoring the volatile nature of the Premier League. However, Carrick, who took over at United in January following the sacking of Ruben Amorim, believes that there is a delicate balance between achieving short-term success and planning for the future.

"There are two sides to it," Carrick said in a press conference on Thursday. "There are instant results and the next game being important, but there's definitely a responsibility to think about what the future looks like and the bigger picture."

Carrick added that he prefers to maintain a positive outlook on life, stating, "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 about what can be achieved. What success looks like."

Under Carrick's leadership, United have been impressive, securing eight wins and two draws in their last 12 matches. They currently sit third in the Premier League standings, with just six points needed from their remaining five games to secure a spot in next season's UEFA Champions League after a two-year absence.

Manchester United will face Brentford next on Monday, looking to continue their strong run of form.
