Michael Owen has said he "can't believe people are questioning" whether Michael Carrick should become the permanent manager of Manchester United.
Former midfielder Carrick, who made 464 appearances for United, was appointed caretaker head coach after the sacking of Ruben Amorim in January.
The 44-year-old has won six of his eight matches in charge and the club have moved from sixth to third in the Premier League.
Former Manchester United and England striker Owen, who played with Carrick at Old Trafford between 2009 and 2012, believes he has "brought a calm back to the club".
