"I really enjoyed it, actually. "We got on really well. It's the first time I've met him properly and we had a good chat just about general kind of football things. "A little bit on processes and ideas, but he was really accommodating. I enjoyed it, so it will be good to see him again."
"I think you can see especially the way they finished the game the other day. They've had players injured and ins and outs, and a lot of changes to the team, which makes things a lot more challenging, a lot more difficult from their perspective. But they're getting players back. They've got really good attackers that look to stretch the backline and play forward and attack the box an awful lot. It's something we've certainly got to be aware of."
Michael Carrick returns to face Thomas Frank five months after interviewing him, with the match at Old Trafford presenting a notable reunion. Carrick has enjoyed a strong start as United head coach, including wins over Manchester City, Arsenal and a 3-2 victory over Fulham, and aims for a fourth consecutive win. Tottenham experienced a poor start to 2026 but have improved, securing a four-game unbeaten run and a 2-2 draw with City. Carrick highlighted Spurs' attacking threat, their injuries and rotation, and stressed the need to be aware of players stretching the backline.
