Carrick breaks super record, speaks out about becoming Manchester United's long-term head coach.

Carrick broke a 16-year-old Premier League record after leading Manchester United to a 3-2 comeback victory against Arsenal, raising questions about his chances of becoming Manchester United's long-term manager.

Forgetting the dark days of constant being forced into hiding, Manchester United , led by Michael Carrick, has transformed in the blink of an eye, delighting their large fanbase with two consecutive victories against Man City and Arsenal .

Having just been called back as interim manager to replace Ruben Amorim until the end of the season, Carrick immediately faced a tough challenge – the Manchester derby against Man City. And what was the result? MU won convincingly 2-0 with goals from Mbeumo and Dorgu.

In the next match, MU faced another big challenge – an away game against Arsenal, and Carrick and his players did even better, with an impressive 3-2 victory, jumping into the top 4 of the Premier League .

According to Opta statistics, with victories against Man City and Arsenal, Michael Carrick broke a 16-year-old Premier League record, since David Moyes with Everton (2010), becoming the first manager to win two consecutive matches against the top two teams in the league table at the time of the encounter.

Over the past 16 years, there have been 36 opportunities for Premier League managers to achieve this feat, but none succeeded until Carrick returned to Manchester United.

Manchester United came from behind to beat Arsenal 3-2, with goals from Mbeumo, Dorgu, and Cunha, ending their opponents' 12-match unbeaten run and drawing boos at the Emirates.

Meanwhile, with results far exceeding expectations, it is believed that MU doesn't need to look any further; Michael Carrick is definitely the long-term head coach they need, instead of just appointing the former player as interim manager until the end of the season.

When asked if he saw a long-term project with MU, Carrick said: “ It’s not like I’m just starting to see that now. I’ve only been at Old Trafford for less than two weeks, and from the beginning I’ve said that every decision made must be in the best interests of MU.”

I'm thoroughly enjoying my job managing Manchester United. It's fantastic to be in this position. As for what happens next, well... let's just see. Right now I'm really happy and will continue to do my best for Manchester United .”
