The Premier League top-four race is now Man Utd’s to lose after Michael Carrick’s dramatic impact at Old Trafford
In the immediate aftermath of Man Utd’s 2-0 win over Tottenham, the Red Devils are in unstoppable form and have mounted their top-four challenge this season.
The Red Devils were effectively written out of the top-four picture in the 2025-26 campaign after Ruben Amorim’s turbulent reign at the Premier League club.

A comfortable win for Michael Carrick!
Ruben Amorim was sacked as Man Utd manager last month, with the Premier League club in sixth place in the table ahead of Michael Carrick’s appointment.

The Red Devils are now only nine points adrift from Premier League leaders Arsenal, but the Gunners have a league match in hand over Carrick’s in-form Man Utd side.
