Manchester United are flying high under Michael Carrick. Since stepping in as interim boss, he’s guided the Red Devils to three wins out of three, and now he’s aiming for a fourth straight victory against his old club, Tottenham Hotspur, at Old Trafford.
United have already beaten Arsenal and Manchester City in style, and last weekend they squeezed past Fulham thanks to a dramatic late goal from Benjamin Šeśko. That win kept Carrick’s perfect record alive and pushed United up to fourth place in the Premier League.
Tottenham, meanwhile, are struggling. They haven’t won a league game in 2026 yet, but they did fight back to earn a draw against Manchester City last weekend. Spurs have a good recent record at Old Trafford, so they’ll arrive with some confidence, but their long injury list is a big problem.
