Manchester United could witness a notable milestone this weekend if they overcome Fulham, as Michael Carrick would then equal Ruben Amorim’s longest winning streak at the club.
Amorim’s most successful run during his entire 47-match tenure consisted of just three consecutive victories. Carrick, meanwhile, is already on two wins and has the chance to reach the same mark during his very first spell as interim manager.
While it is still early and expectations remain measured, the contrast is striking. The immediate lift in performances, renewed confidence within the squad, and growing sense of momentum are difficult to overlook.
Carrick’s calm authority and clarity have quickly translated into results, offering United a sense of direction that had been missing. Matching a benchmark that took Amorim nearly a full tenure to achieve, and doing so within days, underlines the scale of the early progress.
It may only be the beginning, but this short run already points to a positive shift at Old Trafford and highlights the impact Carrick has made in a remarkably brief period.
