JAKARTA - Manchester United manager Michael Carrick says his team will not let themselves get complacent after recent performances have put them in a tight race for Champions League qualification.
The Red Devils have only lost a point under Carrick so far, in their last game against West Ham on February 10, 2026 when Benjamin Sesko's late goal saved a point.
The rest, Manchester United has always won since Carrick entered the locker room on January 14, 2026.
The 1-0 victory over Everton on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, early morning WIB, made Manchester United leapfrog Chelsea and climb to fourth place in the English League.
"It's nice that everyone is asking that question. It shows that we have put ourselves in a good position to start."
"We won't get too complacent now after a few weeks. We know where we are, we're in a good position."
"I still want to be in a better position, of course, but we are in a good position. We are positive, I think it should be like that."
"I think there are a lot of good things to take and look forward to. But, again, it's up to us and how we make it happen. It's possible, it's up to us to take that opportunity," said Carrick.
Carrick's tenure was quite productive. Manchester United was in sixth place when the 44-year-old coach took over.
One of the key players in the improvement in performance is the Brazilian midfielder, Casemiro. The former Real Madrid star will leave Manchester United at the end of this season, but Carrick was very impressed with the role played by the 33-year-old.
"Cas has been fantastic since I've been here, both on and off the pitch. Experience is a great thing if you use it in the right way."
"As a senior player here, there is almost a responsibility to (set) an example, and help the younger players, help the other players, and pass on your experience in a positive way."
"He's been brilliant since I've come in, in many ways, and it's been a pleasure to work with him. I hope to continue to work with him for a few more months," said Carrick.
