Michael Carrick rubricó un comienzo espectacular como técnico del Manchester United: una victoria 2-0 contra el Manchester City en la Liga Premier el sábado.

The Dutch striker has endured a horribly fractured campaign thus far. After winning the war of wills to outlast Rasmus Højlund at Manchester United following an influx of attacking additions, Zirkzee spent the first four months of the campaign glued to the bench.

Carrick set up United to play direct with long balls forward and huge switches of play causing havoc for City. It worked a treat as Mbeumo, Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes and Patrick Dorgu were exceptional and City’s makeshift defense never looked comfortable as Pep Guardiola’s team played in to Carrick’s hands.

Carrick was recruited on a short-term deal until the end of the season following the departure of Ruben Amorim, with United opting to give themselves longer to find a replacement—key target Oliver Glasner has since confirmed he will leave Crystal Palace in the summer.

Carrick inspired a famous 2–0 victory over Manchester City on Saturday in his first match as United’s secondary successor to Amorim. The hosts were well worth all three points, dominating their lofty opponents without the ball in a display which jarred with the limp efforts delivered for much of Amorim’s tenure.
