At Carrington, the atmosphere has shifted significantly. Carrick has introduced a new training schedule characterised by shorter but more intense sessions, with a renewed focus on individual improvement plans for specific players. The feedback from the squad has been overwhelmingly positive, with defender Harry Maguire admitting he has been "really impressed" by the detail and energy brought by the new coaching team.
Carrick has also adopted a more hands-on approach than Amorim. While the former boss often preferred to observe from a distance, Carrick is actively involved in drills alongside his assistants, Steve Holland and Jonathan Woodgate. The appointment of Holland, a boyhood United fan with vast experience at Chelsea and England, has been hailed as a masterstroke. The dynamic between the staff is reportedly strong, blending different skillsets to create a cohesive coaching unit that is already earning the respect of the players.
