Manchester United recorded a dramatic 3–2 victory at Old Trafford against their long-time rivals Liverpool, in the 35th round of the Premier League, in a match filled with high intensity and emotions until the very end.
This win is not only important for the league standings, but also for the personal history of manager Michael Carrick.
With this success, he becomes the first English manager to win at least 8 of his first 9 home matches in the Premier League, a statistic that highlights his immediate impact in leading the team.
On a broader level, Carrick joins an elite group of managers, becoming only the sixth to reach this impressive figure in their opening home matches.
The last to achieve such a run was Antonio Conte during the 2016/17 season, when he led his team to the league title.
Beyond the personal record, this victory significantly strengthens Manchester United’s position in the standings.
The “Red Devils” now hold third place with 64 points, mathematically securing a spot in next season’s Champions League.
Strong home performances and the stability shown in the final phase of the season are confirming Manchester United as one of the most competitive teams of this campaign, while Carrick’s work is increasingly being recognized as one of the key factors behind this success.
