"Three wins in three games, including a Manchester Derby and a 3-2 thriller at Arsenal, have changed the mood at a previously downbeat Old Trafford. And while Sunday's win over Fulham was a little less convincing, United triumphed in the kind of dramatic finish that was a regular fixture in the trophy-laden Sir Alex Ferguson era. United fans are daring to dream again -- a win over Tottenham on Saturday would edge them closer to a long-awaited five-game win streak --"
"Carrick could hardly be more different. You sense his arrival was welcomed by players who respect what he did as a United player, and appreciate how he understood that expectation levels at Old Trafford can make that shirt seem heavy. Where Amorim called the players out publicly, calling his squad "possibly the worst team in United's history," Carrick brings a cool demeanor."
Interim coach Michael Carrick has guided Manchester United to three consecutive wins, including victories over Manchester City and Arsenal, and a dramatic late win at Fulham reminiscent of the Sir Alex Ferguson era. The run has lifted spirits at Old Trafford and rekindled cautious optimism among fans, though sustained improvement remains uncertain and may reflect a temporary new-manager bounce. Ruben Amorim's tenure left the club with the worst goals-per-game and lowest clean-sheet percentage in United's Premier League history. Carrick's calm demeanor, player respect and tactical adjustments have improved cohesion and changed the dressing-room mood.
