Amad Diallo revealed the words Michael Carrick used to motivate the Manchester United players after leading the team to three consecutive wins.
On 2 February 2026, Amad Diallo, Manchester United's forward, disclosed the words Michael Carrick used to encourage the players in the dressing room, which played a key role in the "Red Devils'" recent impressive performance.
A dramatic 3-2 victory over Fulham in the latest Premier League match marked Manchester United’s third consecutive win, following triumphs against Arsenal and Manchester City, two of the league's top teams. This start exceeded expectations for Carrick in his role as interim manager.
Moreover, this record means Carrick took only three matches to secure three consecutive wins, far quicker than the 37 matches it took former manager Rúben Amorim, who previously held the club's longest winning streak record.
Carrick has the chance to set a new record immediately if he can lead Manchester United to a home victory against Tottenham Hotspur in the league next weekend.
After the game, Amad Diallo shared insights into the team’s transformation during an interview with MUTV:
“Since Michael Carrick took over, he has constantly worked to maintain a positive atmosphere within the team. He told us that we are playing for Manchester United, a great club, and we must always uphold our high standards.”
These words appear to have had a direct impact on the team's performance, as every player has given their all to help the team secure another crucial three points.
Recent results reflect that Carrick has not only changed tactics on the field but also transformed the players’ attitudes and confidence, which is becoming the core of Manchester United’s revival during this critical phase of the season.
