Manchester United under Carrick were truly difficult to beat. |
Old Trafford erupted as Manchester United came from behind to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 with goals from Bruno Fernandes and Benjamin Sesko.
This victory not only secured three points, but also propelled the "Red Devils" to third place in the league table due to a better goal difference than Aston Villa.
The biggest impact belongs to manager Michael Carrick. In his interim role, he became the first manager in Manchester United history to win all five of his first home Premier League matches.
The impressive run of form includes victories such as 3-2 against Arsenal, 2-0 against Man City, 3-2 against Fulham, 2-0 against Tottenham, and most recently, 2-1 against Crystal Palace. Some MU fans have exclaimed that "Old Trafford has truly returned to its image as a fortress."
More broadly, this was Carrick's sixth win in seven games since sacking Ruben Amorim. Overall, MU are now unbeaten in 10 consecutive Premier League matches.
Since he took over, the team has won 19 out of a possible 21 points, making him the manager with the most points in 2026 in the Premier League. The defense has also shown significant improvement, with a considerable reduction in the number of goals conceded compared to before.
The key is not just the results. Under Carrick, MU demonstrated flexibility in their approach to the game. They could control possession when needed and accelerate at the right moments. Their playing style was modern but still retained the team's distinctive spirit.
The season is long, and there are many challenges ahead. But with what's happening now, Carrick is no longer just a temporary solution. Old Trafford has rediscovered its confidence, and the race for the top spots is unfolding in a way few would have imagined just a few months ago.
