Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has urged his team to stay grounded despite their impressive form under his leadership. The Red Devils have dropped only one point since Carrick took over, putting them firmly in contention for Champions League qualification. A victory over Everton would see them leapfrog Chelsea into fourth place in the Premier League standings.

Carrick emphasized that while the team's recent performances have been encouraging, they aren't getting carried away with their position. 'We're not getting too carried away now all of a sudden after a few weeks,' Carrick stated, acknowledging that while United are in a good position, they'd prefer to be even higher up the table. The 44-year-old manager praised the contributions of veteran midfielder Casemiro, who has been instrumental in United's resurgence.

Casemiro, who will leave Old Trafford at season's end, has impressed Carrick both on and off the pitch. The Brazilian's experience and leadership have been vital for United's younger players, setting an example through his performances. With United's form coinciding with Casemiro's impending departure, questions remain about how the team will maintain their momentum next season. For now, Carrick's side focuses on consolidating their position and securing European football for the 2026-27 campaign.
