Carrick hits outstanding new benchmark for English managers in Liverpool win
Manchester United boss Michael Carrick set a remarkable English managers record during Sunday’s statement 3-2 victory over Liverpool.
Carrick masterclass
Carrick’s brilliant run since he was named Ruben Amorim’s temporary replacement in January rolled on as he masterminded a stunning win against bitter rivals, Liverpool, at Old Trafford.
United flew out of the traps and took the lead within six minutes, thanks to a moment of sublime quality from Matheus Cunha.
Benjamin Sesko doubled the hosts’ lead with a determined surge into the box, causing chaos. Liverpool goalkeeper Freddie Woodman got a hand to Bruno Fernandes’s header, but could only palm it onto Sesko’s thigh. The striker gratefully bundled it home.
Liverpool improved in the second half but not without some help from United, who made mistakes that were ruthlessly punished. A poor pass from Amad was intercepted by Dominik Szoboszlai, who raced up the pitch before burying the ball into the bottom corner.
