Hardly anyone would have picked Carrick to be Man Utd boss - but now?
"Michael Carrick is far too experienced to get coaxed into giving away whether he wants to become Manchester United's next permanent manager. He is happier revealing his kids were in the away section at Emirates Stadium, joining the throng in a bout of unbridled glee when Matheus Cunha scored United's brilliant third and then again when the whistle went to confirm a 3-2 victory, their first win at Arsenal in eight years."
"Minority United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe looked pleased enough in the directors' box. There have not been many moments to smile about in the two years he has been running the football side at Old Trafford. This certainly was one. United have marked Carrick's first two matches in charge with successive wins. It was something Ruben Amorim managed once in his 14-month tenure - as part of a run of three successes earlier this season that earned him the October manager of the month award."
"United have amassed six points under Carrick. It took Amorim five games to get to seven - and he lost the next three matches. United have taken twice as many points from their past two games - against the teams first and second in the table - as they collected from the three before that, against Leeds, Wolves and Burnley, three of the current bottom five."
Michael Carrick kept his intentions about managing Manchester United private while celebrating with fans and revealing his children were among the away supporters at Emirates Stadium. United secured a 3-2 victory at Arsenal, their first win there in eight years, with Matheus Cunha scoring a notable third goal. Minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe appeared pleased after a scarce run of positive moments since taking charge of the football operations. Carrick has achieved consecutive wins in his first two matches, collecting six points, improving on recent results under Ruben Amorim and shifting some public opinion about potential permanent candidates.
