Benjamin Sesko wants Michael Carrick to remain as Manchester United manager beyond the end of this season.

United's latest victory over Brentford leaves them needing two points from their remaining four games, starting against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday, to seal a return to the Champions League.

Even that might not be required as Brighton and Bournemouth are the only two sides who can prevent it happening and they would need to win all four of their remaining games.

United's hierarchy is still to decide whether to give Carrick the job on a permanent basis.

"I've said this many times," said the Slovenia forward. "He's an amazing coach.

"He's brought different energy and also the way we're doing the training is unbelievable. I would like to have him here."

On Monday, Sesko took his personal goals tally to 10 in his debut Premier League campaign.

Eight of those, plus another in the FA Cup, have come since Ruben Amorim was sacked in January.

Few thought at that point United would secure a return to the Champions League after a two-match absence.

"We're in a good place," said Sesko. "It was difficult to get to this point after what we have been through but we have to keep it up.

"We're looking forward to the next game to try to secure the Champions League place."
