Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has been named the Premier League manager of the month for January. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, MUFC‘s resurgence has been a collective effort involving everyone at the club’s training base, so people should stop thinking it has been down to him alone.
Carrick added that the coaching staff, the backroom staff and the players deserve lots of praise for the improved results.
His words, “It’s nice and it shows that we’ve had a very good start, you know, but let’s be honest, it’s not just about me really. I think it’s about everyone: it’s about the staff, the coaching staff, the backroom staff, and the players definitely. It shows that we’ve had a good start, which is very pleasing.
The boys have been good. It’s not easy with change and to click into gear and to perform the way they have done in different types of games has probably been as pleasing as anything.
Obviously the first two games, in some ways, they take care of themselves because of the emotion and how everyone’s kind of up for them but the games after them have been, for me, just as good to see the boys’ reaction and the quality of the play.
Going into those games, it was challenging and then, three days before the City game [me and the staff] come in… again, that’s why I credit the players for putting themselves forward really, and reacting to change.
But certainly those two games give you a massive boost of all sorts of emotions to use moving forward, which was the key.
After those games are done, it’s what happens next and that’s what I’ve been really delighted with, the reaction after that.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
