On 26 Jan 2026, what was once difficult, English interim manager Michael Carrick achieved a record that Portuguese former manager Ruben Amorim took nearly one year to reach.
The record is leading the team to back-to-back Premier League wins, which Ruben Amorim took about 11 months—almost a year—to achieve, with victories over Sunderland ('The Black Cats') 2-0 and Liverpool ('The Reds') 2-1 in October last year.
Meanwhile, Michael Carrick took only about one week to achieve the same record, winning 2-0 against Manchester City ('The Citizens') and 3-2 against Arsenal ('The Gunners'), who were league leaders at the time.
