Michael Carrick has urged his Manchester United players to stay grounded despite their impressive run of form since he took over as interim manager in mid-January. United climbed to third place in the Premier League with a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace, marking their sixth victory in seven games under Carrick's leadership.

When Carrick replaced the previous manager, United were seventh in the table and had won just two of their previous eight league matches. The transformation has been remarkable, with United now having the best form of any team in the league since Carrick's arrival. The former midfielder emphasized the importance of living in the moment and maintaining focus.

Carrick acknowledged the challenge of staying consistent with so many clubs still competing for Champions League qualification. United face crucial upcoming fixtures against Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Liverpool, with their European hopes firmly in their own hands. The manager stressed that every game remains winnable and that his team must continue to build on their current momentum without getting ahead of themselves.
