May 6 (Reuters) - Manchester ⁠United midfielder Casemiro says Michael Carrick has ⁠already shown he has all the qualities ‌to be a great manager at the club and backed calls for the former England international to be given ​the role on a permanent ⁠basis.

Carrick was handed the ⁠interim role until the end of the season after ⁠the ‌club sacked Ruben Amorim in January following a turbulent 14-month spell.

United have ⁠won 10 of their 14 matches under ​Carrick, including ‌victories over Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, ⁠to ​climb to third in the Premier League and seal a berth in next season's Champions League.

"I think ⁠he's a guy who has ​already demonstrated that he has very good qualities to be a Manchester United coach," Casemiro told ESPN ⁠Brazil.

"Of course, the season is year-round. But since he arrived, he's been doing an incredible job and I think that with more time, he ​has everything to be ⁠a great manager of Manchester United."

United are third on ​64 points with three league ‌matches remaining and travel ​to Sunderland on Saturday.
