Manchester United is currently one of the top-performing teams in the world, which may come as a surprise.
This season, the team’s on-field performance has been more consistent compared to the turmoil off the pitch.
They have lost only three Premier League matches this season, which is quite different from the five losses they had in December last year.
Under Carrick’s guidance, the team is on a five-game unbeaten streak and has not lost in nine Premier League matches, the longest active stretch in the league.
They are currently in fourth place in the league table, and their strong performance is reflected in Opta’s Power Rankings as well.
