It's too difficult to beat Carrick.

Manchester United continued their consistent form by extending their unbeaten run in the Premier League to nine matches, despite only managing a 1-1 draw against West Ham United in the 26th round of the Premier League at London Stadium on the morning of February 26th.

Carrick remains undefeated.

The match between West Ham and Manchester United only truly came alive in the second half. Throughout the first half, both teams managed only two shots on target each. The game was tight, played at an average pace, and lacked clear attacking opportunities.

West Ham were thinking of a win as the match entered injury time, however, once again Benjamin Sesko shone in the 90+6th minute to earn a point for MU.

For Michael Carrick personally, after two stints as interim manager of Manchester United, he remains undefeated. "Red Devils" fans are hoping the team will maintain their unbeaten run for the remainder of the season.

According to statistics, the red-shirted team currently holds the longest unbeaten streak in the Premier League with 9 consecutive matches without a loss. Even more remarkably, Manchester United is also the only team in the Premier League that will remain undefeated in 2026.

Compared to the beginning of the season, this represents a clear improvement in composure and control of the game. Manchester United no longer crumble easily when facing difficulties, even in poor performances. Against West Ham, the visitors lacked sharpness in attack but still maintained the necessary solidity to avoid defeat.

Commenting after the match, former midfielder Nicky Butt praised the progress of his old team: “Six weeks ago, Manchester United would probably have lost this game 0-2 or 0-3. Now they’re still standing.”

The extended unbeaten run has created a positive psychological foundation, but the performance against West Ham also showed that Michael Carrick's team needs to improve their attacking tempo and decisiveness in the final area.

The draw at London Stadium helped Manchester United maintain their position in the top four of the Premier League, although the gap with their closest rivals is very narrow.

With the season entering its crucial stage, consistency in results is the most important asset for Manchester United, even if their playing style isn't yet truly convincing.
