Old Trafford Has Not Lost Its Magic – Carrick

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has said that there is still magic at Old Trafford despite the turmoil that has engulfed the club in recent years. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he does not agree that MUFC has become a soulless club nowadays because he still felt the magic as soon as he stepped into Old Trafford.

Carrick added that it is his responsibility to ensure he brings the best out of every player at the club.

His words, “I certainly don’t think it’s soulless, I think there’s a magic around this place. I feel at home straight away, coming into the building, coming in and around it. I’ve obviously been around it for quite some time and then missed a little window but I think there’s a magic around this place, you can’t help but feel that. Results and sometimes from the outside things look a little bit different but it certainly doesn’t feel majorly different on the inside, I have to say that.

Part of my role and responsibility is shaping what we want to look like going forward as a group. What happens on the pitch and the tactical side and the performances is one thing but certainly the culture as well and how we think, how we act, how we behave, what it means to us to be here, that’s something that is part of my responsibility to spread in the right way.”

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.
