Arsène Wenger's analysis did not go unnoticed after Manchester United's spectacular victory over Arsenal. Speaking on beIN Sports, the former Gunners manager highlighted the visible evolution of the Red Devils under Michael Carrick, applauding a side that looked more structured and cohesive.

"Manchester United showed good build-up play and real cohesion, while Arsenal had more power and fighting spirit, but lacked clean football," Wenger observed,

shedding light on the tactical balance found by United in this top-level encounter.

He added:

"The way Manchester United beat City and Arsenal is convincing. [...] To win 3-2 away from home in such a high-level match, I must congratulate Carrick."

Still unbeaten during his interim spells, Carrick will look to extend this run in the upcoming Premier League clash against Fulham.
