Manchester United’s feel-good factor returns
Manchester United have won four straight Premier League games under interim manager Michael Carrick, ending a difficult period and bringing a much-improved atmosphere to Old Trafford. United’s latest win came in a 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, continuing a run that also includes wins over Arsenal, Manchester City and Fulham.
Carrick praises the team’s purpose
After the Tottenham match, Carrick said he was particularly pleased with the purpose and confidence shown by his players. He highlighted how the team is playing with intention — attacking with energy but not getting carried away — and emphasised the connection between players, staff and fans that has helped lift the mood at the club.
He told reporters that the feeling around Old Trafford “feels good” and that the emotional buy-in from everyone involved has been key to their recent success. Carrick also stressed that while this run is encouraging, nothing is settled yet and the focus remains on the next match, not past results.
📈 Players back Carrick’s impact
Captain Bruno Fernandes said Carrick has brought “something special” to the side and credited him with giving players the responsibility and freedom to express themselves on the pitch — something that’s reflected in the team’s wins. Fernandes’ goal in the Tottenham game marked his 200th goal involvement for United.
Defender Luke Shaw also praised Carrick’s man-management and the strong unity he’s fostered among the squad — noting that this collective spirit is a big reason behind their recent run.
What’s next?
Carrick’s team sit in and around the Premier League’s top four, reviving hopes of a Champions League return. Despite the improved form, Carrick has urged against making any rash decisions on the club’s long-term managerial future, calling for measured thinking rather than knee-jerk reactions to short-term results.
