Overview
- Manchester United have taken 23 points from 10 Premier League games under Michael Carrick with a 7-2-1 record to sit third in the table.
- Senne Lammens told The Athletic that Carrick “made everything quite clear” from day one and kept the plan simple, which he credits for the team’s turnaround.
- Carrick moved away from Ruben Amorim’s back three to a 4-2-3-1, pushed Bruno Fernandes into a No. 10 role, and paired Kobbie Mainoo with Casemiro to restore familiar duties.
- The defense has steadied with fewer early goals conceded and strong games from Harry Maguire, while Lammens’ form helped him earn a second start for Belgium.
- Seven league matches remain, including Leeds, Chelsea and Liverpool, and recent reporting now frames Carrick as the club’s leading internal candidate for the permanent job.
