Big “what if” scenario for discussion.
Since Carrick stepped in, performances have clearly improved — better structure, clearer roles, more compact defensively, and quicker transitions.
So here’s the question:
If Carrick had been appointed five matches earlier…
Where would Manchester United be in the table right now?
Would those dropped points have been wins?
Would momentum have built sooner?
Or is this just a temporary new-manager bounce?
Curious to hear everyone’s honest take.
