Michael Carrick is having a dream start in his role as interim coach of Manchester United. If he defeats Fulham at Old Trafford, he will equal the longest winning streak that Ruben Amorim has ever established during his time leading the "Red Devils".
Carrick took over the hot seat from the beginning of the month and immediately made his mark with a 2-0 victory over Manchester City, before defeating league leaders Arsenal 3-2 right at the Emirates last weekend.
In fact, right in his first time in charge of the team in 2021, Carrick also won 10 points after 4 Premier League matches (3 wins, 1 draw). In the history of the league, only 4 English coaches achieved 13 points or more after the first 5 matches: Frank Clark (1994 - 13 points), Roy Hodgson (1997 - 13), Tim Sherwood (2013-2014 - 13) and Craig Shakespeare (2017 - 15).
However, Carrick's team understands that this will not be an easy trip, because Fulham is in form.
Marco Silva's team has won 17 points in the last 8 matches in the Premier League (5 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss) - exactly equal to the points they earned in the first 15 rounds of the season (5 wins, 2 draws, 8 losses). This is also Fulham's highest point record in any 8-match streak in a Premier League season.
That upward momentum is associated with Harry Wilson's explosive form. The Welsh midfielder has directly participated in 10 goals in Fulham's last 11 Premier League matches (6 goals, 4 assists), becoming an important fulcrum on the London team's acceleration journey.
