Michael Carrick remained grounded after Manchester United's 3-2 victory over Premier League leaders Arsenal. Goals from Bryan Mbeumo, Patrick Dorgu, and Matheus Cunha secured a first away win at the Emirates since 2017, moving United into the Champions League qualification spots and denting Arsenal's title hopes.

The win follows a 2-0 derby triumph over Manchester City in Carrick's first game, extending his perfect start as interim boss. While fans sang about winning the league, Carrick emphasized staying humble, noting the team is just 12 points behind Arsenal with 15 league games remaining.

Carrick stated the focus is solely on the next match, starting with Fulham at Old Trafford. He declined to discuss his permanent future, insisting the team must build on this momentum. He also offered a positive update on Dorgu, hoping a late limp was only cramp.
