Manchester United finished third in the Premier League after a 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford. Michael Carrick said clarity about his job would arrive in the coming days, while emphasizing that the immediate focus was securing the result and ending the season strongly. Appointed interim in January, Carrick guided a steady rise up the table, culminating in Champions League qualification. Luke Shaw scored early, and Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo scored in the second half, including Cunha’s goal that was allowed despite an apparent handball. Bruno Fernandes matched a Premier League assists record with an assist for Mbeumo. Carrick credited the team’s progress and described finishing the campaign as a positive achievement.
"Over the coming days, there'll be clarity in the situation. I think it was a case that today was important about the game and getting the right result, and some individuals as well shining today, so whatever the news is going to be, I'm sure you'll get clarity in a few days."
"We were really conscious of trying to finish on a bit of a high, we've made some really good strides as a team and as a club. It's easy to get to this stage and, being part of it myself, that extra spark's not there, so I think to finish like we did for so many reasons was a good day for us."
"It's handball, it's as simple as that!"
"Appointed on an interim basis in January, Carrick has overseen a steady climb up the table, culminating in Champions League qualification, and he framed the season as a significant achievement given United's starting point."
