In the 28th round of the English Premier League, "Manchester United" defeated "Crystal Palace" with a score of 2:1 and not only scored important three points, but also recorded a noteworthy statistical result for the club's history. With this victory, Carrick is mentioned as the first manager in the Red Devils' history to achieve five victories in their first five home Premier League matches. This statistic was recorded by Squawka.
This series at Old Trafford was truly impressive. Under Carrick, Manchester United defeated Arsenal 3-2, Manchester City 2-0, Fulham 3-2, Tottenham 2-0, and now Crystal Palace 2-1 at home. These figures indicate an increase in the team's ability to achieve results even under pressure, confidence, and character during home games.
Even the last argument wasn't easy. Crystal Palace took the lead in the 4th minute, but United changed the situation in the second half. First, Bruno Fernandes leveled the score from a penalty, and then Benjamin Šeško scored the winning goal, securing the desired result for Manchester United. This victory propelled United to third place in the table with 51 points.
Interestingly, this is not just one result, but a continuation of the stable series that was forming under Carrick. According to Reuters, Manchester United has now won six of their last seven matches under Carrick, and the team is once again becoming a serious contender for top spots.
Manchester United currently sits in third place in the Premier League with 51 points. In the next round, the Mancunians will face Newcastle away on March 4, 2026. The meeting is scheduled to take place at St. James' Park.
In short, for now, Carrick is working not with words, but with results. A perfect home streak, a third-place finish, and a record - all of this signifies a new spirit in Manchester United. Now the main question is one: can this move be continued in the same way in away games?
