Under Michael Carrick, Manchester United is entering a rare period of stability in the Premier League. The 3-2 victory against Fulham in round 24, with a late winning goal, gave Carrick his third consecutive win, equaling Ruben Amorim's longest winning streak while managing a team in England's top flight.
More importantly, the result also extended Manchester United's unbeaten run in the Premier League to seven consecutive matches, the first time since February 2022, when the team was still managed by Ralf Rangnick. This current run of results demonstrates a clear improvement in consistency.
At this point, it was also the longest unbeaten run in the Premier League, while many other big teams were consistently dropping points. Although not yet delivering explosive play, Carrick's MU showed pragmatism and the ability to finish matches at the right time, something they had lacked for much of the previous season.
Old Trafford continues to be a formidable stronghold. Statistics show that Manchester United has never lost a Premier League match at home when leading after halftime. In 330 matches under this scenario, MU has 304 wins, 26 draws, and 0 defeats. An incredible record, reflecting their exceptional resilience and rare home advantage.
From a tactical perspective, Carrick hasn't brought about a clear revolution, but he's helping the team simplify their playing style, prioritizing solidity and fighting spirit. The consecutive late goals show that MU is no longer easily giving up in the final stages of matches, a stark contrast to their previous lack of composure.
When results started to improve, Carrick had the most important foundation: consistency. And for MU right now, that's already a significant step forward.
