Arteta expects high intensity from Manchester United under Carrick

Arsenal will face Michael Carrick’s Manchester United in what will be his second match since taking charge as interim manager, and he will be aiming to secure back-to-back victories. Carrick was appointed shortly before United’s previous fixture against Manchester City, a match in which he delivered an impressive and unexpected win against the former defending champions.

Carrick’s Early Impact at United

This season has been a difficult one for United, with performances often falling below expectations. Going into the match against Man City, most observers anticipated a defeat, given United’s struggles and the strength of their opponents. However, the victory demonstrated that the team still has belief and resilience, even in challenging circumstances. Carrick’s calm approach appeared to have an immediate effect, and the result suggested that the players responded positively to his leadership.

The upcoming fixture against Arsenal at the Emirates represents another significant test. With Carrick having managed only one game so far, there remains uncertainty about what to expect from United. The lack of a clear pattern or extended run under his management makes it difficult to predict their approach, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the contest. Nevertheless, the momentum from their last result could play a role in shaping their performance.
