This place means a lot to me. Seeing everyone enjoy the game and having a positive atmosphere is something I cherish. The players deserve a lot of credit for their efforts on the pitch," he added.
Despite a shaky start, the team rallied, and Carrick was proud of their response. "You have to find a way in games. We wanted to be more aggressive and make more runs at their backline. The boys reacted well, and that’s what matters."
As the final whistle blew, the chants of Carrick’s name echoed around Old Trafford, a testament to the bond he shares with the supporters. The victory not only keeps United unbeaten in the league for 2026 but also reinforces Carrick's growing legacy as a manager. The atmosphere was electric, and the fans left with smiles, eager for what lies ahead.
