Carrick Rides United Revival with Arsenal Win
Michael Carrick continued his dream return as Manchester United interim manager after guiding his side to a thrilling 3-2 victory at Premier League leaders Arsenal on Sunday.Called back following Ruben Amorim’s sacking, Carrick has now overseen back-to-back statement wins, beating Manchester City 2-0 before stunning Arsenal, lifting United up to fourth in the table.
United were under pressure early on and trailed after a Lisandro Martinez own goal, but Bryan Mbeumo capitalised on a gift to level before second-half stunners from Patrick Dorgu and Matheus Cunha sealed a first league win at the Emirates since 2017.Carrick urged his players to embrace the momentum, stressing the importance of using the confidence and energy generated by two huge results while remaining grounded.
The former midfielder, unbeaten in his previous caretaker spell in 2021, has seen his stock rise rapidly and now has until the end of the season to press his case for the job permanently, though his focus remains firmly on the next game.
