Just weeks ago, Manchester United looked broken. No identity. No belief. No direction.
Now, under Michael Carrick, United look scary again.

Back-to-back wins against Manchester City and Arsenal — the two most dominant Premier League sides of recent seasons — have completely shifted the mood around the club. Winning the derby. Scoring three at the Emirates. Outplaying title contenders with confidence, clarity, and structure.

And the most important part?
This isn’t a rebuild. It’s the same squad.

Carrick has scrapped the rigid system, brought back flexibility, and instantly unlocked players who looked stuck just weeks ago:

Kobbie Mainoo running games again

Casemiro playing like his Real Madrid version

Bruno Fernandes finally free as a true number 10

Patrick Dorgu reinvented and delivering match-winning moments

Bryan Mbeumo thriving as a number 9

Matheus Cunha changing games off the bench

This video breaks down:
• What Michael Carrick changed tactically
• Why United suddenly look fluent again
• How key players have been transformed
• Whether this is a new-manager bounce — or something bigger

So what do you think?
Is Michael Carrick the real deal, or is this just a short-term surge?
