"Things have been going in our favour, so at half-time I said to them, 'here's something I've been waiting for, this moment'. It was, 'go on then, what are we going to do about it?'. You've got to find a way in games sometimes. It was a case of how do we react?"
"Six wins and a draw from his seven games in charge means it is seven and two overall for Carrick, who beat Arsenal and drew with Chelsea in the Premier League during his first stint as temporary boss following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dismissal in November 2021. That equals the joint-best return from the first nine games as manager from anyone in the competition's history."
Michael Carrick faced his first significant test as Manchester United interim manager when trailing Crystal Palace at half-time. He challenged his players to respond, asking what they would do about the deficit. Despite Palace manager Oliver Glasner arguing United benefited from luck regarding Maxence Lacroix's dismissal and subsequent penalty, United equalized through Bruno Fernandes and won via Benjamin Sesko's header. This victory moved United to third in the Premier League. Carrick's seven-game tenure includes six wins and a draw, giving him seven wins and two draws across nine games overall—equaling the joint-best nine-game start in Premier League history, previously held solely by Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham.
