"A lot of words have been spoken since the sacking of Ruben Amorim about a reconnection with Manchester United's DNA. There are plenty who question whether it even exists. If there is such a thing, this is it. United snatching a winner, deep into stoppage-time, just as it seemed victory would prove elusive. Michael Carrick's post-match assessment summed up the view of many."
""It's the best feeling," said Carrick. "Some of the best moments here I've been lucky enough to be a part of, when you get a moment of elation and excitement like that. "There's no better place, in front of the Stretford End - and it ends up meaning a bit more. "People leave here with more than just a United win. It puts layers on top of that through the connection and the emotion."
Manchester United secured a dramatic 3-2 stoppage-time win over Fulham courtesy of Benjamin Sesko, reinforcing a history of late, emotional victories at Old Trafford. Michael Carrick emphasized the unique elation and connection experienced by players and supporters in those moments, particularly in front of the Stretford End. The result marked United's third consecutive Premier League victory in Carrick's second spell, a run Amorim only achieved once across 36 matches during a troubled 14-month tenure. Several past examples of late drama include the 5-4 Europa League win over Lyon and Michael Owen's 2009 derby winner.
