Man United had a great performance to defeat Arsenal with goals from Bryan Mbeumo, Patrick Dorgu and Matheus Cunha. The 3-2 victory over Arsenal helped Man United rank 4th in the rankings.
This is also Man United's second victory under Carrick. In the previous round, this strategist and his students defeated Man City 2-0 in the Manchester derby. According to Michael Carrick, Man United needs to "keep" what they have achieved, and at the same time must maintain a "humility" attitude - because he believes there are still more important matches ahead.
This is a difficult match for us. We knew that from the beginning. The match will never be perfect for us. Man United has only been training together for less than two weeks, so we know that when we come here, we will have to rely on many different factors to get a good performance and results.
The match had ups and downs, there were very good points in the match, things we could improve, but the way the players played, their belief, confidence and spirit, all of that made me really proud today," Carrick said after the 3-2 victory over Arsenal.
Leading Man United amidst pressure, Carrick had a dream start with two victories against Arsenal and Man City - the top two teams in the Premier League currently. This has exceeded Carrick's expectations.
He said: "I understand that those were two difficult matches from the beginning, but we still have many difficult matches ahead. These are the best matches to win, in terms of feelings and emotions, to gain confidence and motivation.
The players played great, we only had less than two weeks to train together and try to do what we were asked to do. There are still things Man United wants to achieve. We want to improve. But considering what is necessary to win in these two matches, they did very well.
Despite having just gone through two great matches, Carrick emphasized that Man United should not think too much about the goals ahead.
The Man United coach shared: "From our perspective, the important thing is to move towards the next match. We have only been training together for less than two weeks, so what needs to be done is to continue to maintain good habits and schedules. The players have done that very well.
But I think we should not look too far ahead, because it could backfire. We have focused on each week, each match and will definitely continue to do so, but we must take advantage of opportunities, must use emotions, must use energy, must use confidence.
But we have a clear goal. Everything is in front of our eyes, this is a good start, but we need to continue building and developing the team”.
It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.
