Michael Carrick celebrated another victory as Manchester United manager, with the fans chanting his name after a thrilling 2-1 comeback against their rivals.

Michael Carrick continues to make his mark as Manchester United's manager, guiding the team to six wins in seven matches. This afternoon, United showcased their resilience, bouncing back from an early setback to secure a 2-1 victory. Bruno Fernandes leveled the score with a penalty, and Benjamin Sesko sealed the win with a powerful header.

Carrick spoke to the press after the match, revealing how the team turned the tide. "We made a couple of tweaks in shape and adjusted our approach. It wasn’t anything major, really. The boys showed they could improve as the first half went on," he said. The manager emphasized the importance of aggression in their attacking play, which paid off in the second half.

The Old Trafford crowd played a crucial role in the team's performance. Carrick, a former player himself, felt the connection with the fans deeply. "It’s nice to hear them sing my name. 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.
