Michael Carrick, Manchester United's interim head coach, has made an impressive start to his tenure at Old Trafford. Appointed on 13 January 2026, Carrick has guided the club to three consecutive Premier League victories in his first three matches in charge. These crucial wins include a 2-0 triumph over Manchester City, a 3-2 success against Arsenal, and a dramatic 3-2 victory over Fulham at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Carrick's immediate impact means he has already matched the longest winning run achieved by former head coach Ruben Amorim during his 14-month spell at the club. Amorim, who began his tenure in November 2024, was dismissed on 5 January 2026, following a period of less consistent results.
Under Carrick's leadership, Manchester United currently occupy fourth position in the Premier League table after 24 rounds. This strong run of form helps the club maintain its bid for Champions League qualification.
