How Michael Carrick Rebuilt Manchester United?
Sunday 22-02-2026
Michael Carrick, the interim manager of Manchester United, has captured attention during the few weeks he led the team, having succeeded in not suffering any defeat since taking over the role until the end of the season, according to reports from the Daily Mail.

Carrick took charge of the team after Manchester United's results declined under Ruben Amorim, where the team managed to regain its balance by outperforming Manchester City with a 2-0 win, 3-2 against Fulham, and 2-0 against Tottenham, with a 1-1 draw against West Ham.

Carrick relied on specific elements in rebuilding the team, including his assistant coaching staff Jonathan Woodgate and Steve Holland to improve team performance. Jonny Evans participated in training the defenders and innovating some tactics, such as the corner kick from which Bryan Mbeumo scored against Tottenham.

Travis Binyon was promoted from the under-21 team to focus on academy players, giving opportunities to some like Tyler Fletcher, who made his debut against Tottenham.

Training under Carrick saw changes in routine, becoming more intense with reduced duration, and delaying players' arrival to matches by 15 minutes, making the bus arrive only 105 minutes before the start of matches at Old Trafford. Additionally, the 4-2-3-1 formation was adopted to enhance the team's defensive presence.

Manchester United's performance under Carrick's leadership demonstrates the manager's ability to bring the team back into competition for Champions League qualifying spots before the end of the season.
