Michael Carrick believes Man Utd must stay grounded following their 3-2 win over Arsenal because tougher tests are still ahead.
Michael Carrick Asks Man Utd To Stay Focused
Manchester United walked into the Emirates with pressure on their shoulders. But, they walked out with belief in their hearts after the final whistle. The 3-2 win over Arsenal in the Premier League was not just another victory, it felt like a statement.
Goals from Bryan Mbeumo, Patrick Dorgu and Matheus Cunha gave Man Utd a rare away league win against the Gunners. This was their first win since 2017 as well. The result pushed the team closer to the Champions League spots. In addition, it has lifted the mood among fans, who dared to dream again.
But, Michael Carrick refused to get carried away. He made it clear that one big win does not define a season. The Red Devils are still chasing consistency. The gap to PL leaders Arsenal remains wide. The message from the coach was to enjoy the moment, but stay focused.
Focus Over Hype as Pressure Builds
Speaking to reporters, Carrick said : “I’m not getting carried away. We’ve got some big games, bigger games, coming up, because every next game is the bigger game.”
Carrick’s impact has been quick. A win over Manchester City in his first match was followed by this huge victory against Arsenal. At the moment, Man Utd look sharper and more confident. However, United are out of domestic cups and have only a limited number of league games to play. Every match now feels like a big game.
For Man Utd, the challenge is not just winning big games, but winning regularly. Carrick knows that true progress is measured over weeks.
