""Yeah, I spoke to him," Carrick said. "I'm close, we've been through a lot together, so he's been fully supportive as you'd expect. "He's some man and I respect him an awful lot, so, yeah, he wished us all the best and he was happy that we got the right result.""
""I think friendships, you have conversations. "I've got a lot of friends in places that I can kind of pick on if I need to be. I'm not one that bothers a lot of people, to be honest, but he's certainly there if ever I need him.""
Michael Carrick became Manchester United head coach after Ruben Amorim's sacking following 14 turbulent months. Carrick began his tenure with a 2-0 derby victory over Manchester City. Carrick has kept in touch with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who offered support and remains available for advice. Ruud van Nistelrooy was interviewed during the search, but Carrick and Solskjaer were leading candidates. United prepare to travel to top-of-the-table Arsenal, where United have lost their last four Premier League visits. Carrick emphasized that every game presents different challenges and described the squad as having a strong foundation.
