Carrick reveals United’s mindset for the season run-in | OneFootball

Michael Carrick said on Tuesday that Manchester United is “hungry for more” after their spectacular recovery under his leadership, as they look to return to the Champions League.

United climbed to third place in the Premier League with Sunday’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace. That was their sixth win in seven games since Carrick was appointed as manager in mid-January, until the end of the season.

The Red Devils, who have the best form of any team in the league since Carrick’s arrival, travel to face Newcastle on Wednesday.

They are six points ahead of sixth-placed Chelsea, with the top five almost certain to qualify for the Champions League thanks to the strong performance of English teams in Europe this season.

But Carrick said it was important to stay “in the moment” as United looks to maintain their momentum.

“We’re certainly not going to get carried away,” he said. “I think you have to feed off the confidence and understand that winning streaks are hard to come by. But we’re hungry for more, for sure, and we need to try to make it last as long as possible and remain consistent.”

The former United midfielder said it was important not to look too far ahead. Meanwhile, the three-time European champions are seeking a return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2023/24 season.

“I think we’re in a good position and kind of deserve it,” he said. “The boys have earned it and we have to try to make the most of it from now on.” He added: “In terms of talent, in terms of ability, I think the boys have shown what they can do.”

“And then there’s that balance of good habits, good behaviors and, in fact, looking after each other at certain moments when you really have to push yourself and show that good spirit and team spirit, so I can’t praise the players enough.”
