Gary Neville, the famous football guru, clearly pointed out four things that distinguish Manchester United under Michael Carrick from the era of Rúben Amorim.
On 27 Jan 2026 GMT+7, Gary Neville, the renowned football expert, clearly identified four differences between the current Manchester United team in the English Premier League under interim English manager Michael Carrick and the previous era under Portuguese coach Rúben Amorim.
Michael Carrick returned to temporarily manage the prestigious Manchester team for the second time with great success, securing victories in both matches against two major teams: a 2-0 win at Old Trafford over Manchester City, and a 3-2 away win against league leaders Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Gary Neville said, “Manchester United has changed significantly in many ways. The playing system has returned to a 4-2-3-1 formation—simple but executed effectively. The attacking intensity offers numerous options, the team’s defensive cohesion has improved compared to before, and the players show fierce determination by working together. It feels like we’re seeing the familiar Manchester United return.”
