Michael Carrick opened a new chapter in Manchester United's history
Manchester United secured an important three points by defeating Crystal Palace 2-1 in the 28th round of the English Premier League, marking a significant statistical achievement in the club's history. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
With this victory, Michael Carrick is noted as the first manager in the history of the "Red Devils" to achieve five wins in his first five home Premier League matches. This statistic was recorded by Squawka.
This streak at Old Trafford truly looks impressive. Under Carrick's leadership, Manchester United defeated Arsenal 3-2, Manchester City 2-0, Fulham 3-2, Tottenham 2-0, and Crystal Palace 2-1 on their home ground.
These figures indicate that the team’s confidence, character, and ability to deliver results under pressure in home games have improved. The latest match was not easy either.
Crystal Palace took the lead as early as the 4th minute, but United changed the situation in the second half. First, Bruno Fernandes equalized from a penalty, then Benjamin Sesko scored the winning goal, delivering the needed result for the Mancunians.
This victory lifted United to third place with 51 points. Interestingly, this is not just a single result but a continuation of a stable series forming under Carrick’s tenure.
According to Reuters, Manchester United has won six of their last seven matches under Carrick and the team is becoming a serious contender for the top positions again. Currently, Manchester United stands third in the Premier League with 51 points.
In the next round, the Mancunians will face Newcastle away on March 4, 2026. The match is scheduled to take place at St. James' Park.
In short, Carrick is working with results rather than words for now. The perfect home streak, third place in the table, and the record—all these show that a new spirit has emerged at Manchester United.
Now the main question is: can this run continue in away games as well?
