Ruben Amorim is looking to keep his perfect record going since taking over as Manchester United manager when Fulham come to Old Trafford this Sunday.
After a turbulent first half of the season, United decided to part ways with Amorim and appointed Michael Carrick as head coach until the end of the campaign.
Carrick already had an unbeaten record from his short stint as caretaker manager back in 2021, following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s departure. His first two games this time saw United pick up six points against Man City and Arsenal.
To achieve that goal, Carrick will need to deliver more wins than Amorim managed before Christmas.
Michael Carrick can match Ruben Amorim’s longest winning run at Man Utd
United’s focus this week has been firmly on the Premier League clash with Fulham, where Carrick has a chance to equal Ruben Amorim’s longest winning streak during his 14 months at Old Trafford.
It won’t be straightforward against Fulham, though. Their form is solid heading into the match, and they’ll be determined to disrupt United’s push for a Champions League place.
A win would give Carrick three straight victories — something it took Amorim 47 games to achieve.
Amorim managed that once back in October, during what was one of the few strong stretches of a campaign that never quite came together.
Carrick now has an opportunity to match that record in just his third game in charge.
It highlights how much things have changed, but United still need to finish the job. Dropping points this weekend would be seen as a step backward.
A three-goal performance would also see United equal their total goals from last season.
Who were Manchester United’s opponents during October winning run?
Ruben Amorim’s most consistent stretch as United manager came in October, when his side recorded back-to-back wins over Sunderland, Liverpool, and Brighton.
It began with a 2-0 victory at home to Sunderland. The next fixture was a trip to Anfield, where Amorim picked up all three points before returning to Old Trafford for a clash against Brighton.
United ended the month with a 4-2 win over Brighton, though that same opponent would later eliminate them from the FA Cup in the third round.
