Michael Carrick has brought a refreshing simplicity to Manchester United, guiding them to three consecutive wins. The latest, a thrilling 3-2 victory against Fulham, saw Benjamin Sesko score a dramatic stoppage-time winner. This win comes after victories against Manchester City and Arsenal, putting United in contention for a UEFA Champions League spot.

Carrick's approach contrasts sharply with his predecessor, Ruben Amorim, who was known for tactical complexity. Carrick has focused on clear player roles and straightforward substitutions. The return to basics has unleashed the team's potential, with players like Casemiro and Matheus Cunha contributing significantly. The team's improved form is a direct result of Carrick's trust in his players.

Carrick's willingness to take risks, such as attacker-for-attacker substitutions, has been key. This strategy, coupled with the return of players from AFCON duty, has revitalized the squad. The team now plays with confidence, a stark contrast to the uncertainty that plagued them under Amorim.

What's next? United fans will be eager to see if Carrick can maintain this momentum. The team's improved form also raises questions about Amorim's tenure. Will the team's success continue? Can they secure a Champions League spot? Only time will tell.
