Former Manchester United winger Lee Sharpe has disclosed that Red Devils coach Michael Carrick will be expecting to win a trophy next season after securing a third-place finish and Champions League qualification.
Speaking to Netbet, Sharpe stated that high standards at Old Trafford mean pressure will immediately mount if major silverware is not achieved.

“Absolutely. He’s at one of the biggest, if not the biggest, clubs in the world, so if you’re not winning things at the end of every season, then there are definitely questions asked and pressure to be mounted.
“I think he’ll be expecting to win something. I think the fans will. I think the board will. There’s no hiding it. You have to win everything and win something every year. That just goes with the territory.”
“I don’t know if Michael needs to take anything from Alex Ferguson.
“I think you should learn from managers you’ve played under and take little bits from them, but certainly the winning mentality from Sir Alex. He wanted to win every game, no matter whether it was home or away or if it was a tough game or an easy game; every game needed to be won, and I think Michael’s the same as that.”

After taking over from former manager Ruben Amorim, Carrick now has a mammoth task as he tries to turn United into trophy winners once more after a two-year dry spell.
Manchester United’s last major trophy was the 2023/24 FA Cup, almost 3 years ago, as the side beat Manchester City 2-1 at Wembley thanks to goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.
