Former Manchester United players John O'Shea and Danny Simpson have both backed Michael Carrick to become the club's permanent manager at the end of the season.
Speaking at a United foundation Padel event, O'Shea said: "He's doing a fantatsic job at the minute and hopefully that continues. Tough one the other night against Leeds but Michael will be making sure the standards are back up for Chelsea I'm sure at the weekend.
"I was convinced Michael would be able to turn it around. First and foremost the experience he's got, knowing the club inside out, but then also the years he's spent with Middlesbrough and before that coaching under managers at United. Hopefully he gets the chance to continue into next season too.
"I think Michael is making everyone's mind up himself. He's straightforward in what he's done."
Simpson said: "If you would have said before Michael took over that they would be in this position I think United fans would have snapped your hand off.
"The turnaround from the team in the last few weeks and months is what we want to see. It's the old Man United, it's fighting until the end, getting last-minute goals, and getting the fans engaged."
