Owen stated in an exclusive interview with Mirror that despite Manchester United's poor start to the new season, Carrick deserves more time, and the club should not rush to question his future at this stage.

Owen said, "I hope he gets more time. After all, he performed very well last season. He deserves more time. We could easily point to several examples. Manchester City benefited from VAR decisions, which could arguably be considered among the best or worst decisions, depending on which team you support. It's quite possible Manchester United could have several more points right now.
I'm not saying that with those extra points everything would be fine, but we must be clear: Manchester United have performed poorly over the last 10 to 15 years. The second half of last season was already their best period in that time.
So it's understandable that Manchester United fans might have felt this season could be exciting and promising. If the team could continue playing like they did last season, they might even be in the title race. I think with the league title now out of reach and elimination from the League Cup, this has significantly dampened the initial enthusiasm of the fans. The season is still long.
I understand this, and I understand why there's disappointment. But given Carrick's performance last season, that doesn't mean he should suddenly be under immense pressure now. Manchester United have tried that road before—constantly changing managers and looking for the next shiny 'new toy'.
They've hired experienced old-school coaches, seasoned managers, former club players, and glamorous young coaches from abroad. Every approach has been tried. At some point, you have to understand that it will be a slow process for Manchester United to return to the level they aspire to."
