United v Spurs: Carrick eager for reunion with Frank | OneFootball

Michael Carrick will face Thomas Frank just a few months after interviewing the Tottenham coach, as Manchester United seeks a fourth consecutive victory in the Premier League under the interim manager at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The former Spurs, United, and England midfielder, Carrick, has had an ideal start in charge of the team – which, at this rate, could extend well beyond what was expected for the end of the season – with wins over Manchester City, the Premier League leaders, Arsenal, and a dramatic 3-2 victory over Fulham last week.

Carrick’s next challenge is Spurs, after having interviewed the opposing coach, Frank, before the Dane’s debut in the Champions League at the helm of the North London club.

“Yes, life can certainly change,” Carrick said, reflecting on the interview for Amazon Prime in September. “I actually really enjoyed it.

We got along very well. It was the first time I met him in person and we had a good conversation about general football topics… I enjoyed it, so it will be good to see him again.”

Frank joined Spurs in the European summer after impressing at London rivals Brentford, but his position has been constantly questioned due to the club’s inconsistency.

But good performances in Europe have contributed to improved results for Tottenham, with a 2-2 home draw against City last weekend, part of a run of four unbeaten games in all competitions.

“They certainly pose a challenge,” said Carrick. “I think that was especially evident in the way they finished the game the other day.”

“They certainly pose a challenge,” said Carrick. “I think you can especially see that in the way they finished the game the other day.” “They have had injured players, constant ins and outs, and many changes in the team, which makes things much more challenging and difficult for them. But they are getting players back.

They have very good forwards who look to stretch the defensive line, play forward, and attack the box very often. It’s something we definitely need to take into consideration.”
