Manchester United centre back Lisandro Martínez described Michael Carrick and Ruben Amorim as “so different,” highlighting an added sense of calm and confidence in the current coach while also pointing to that familiar cliché: his knowledge of the club.
Carrick inspired a famous 2–0 victory over Manchester City on Saturday in his first match as United’s secondary successor to Amorim. The hosts were well worth all three points, dominating their lofty opponents without the ball in a display which jarred with the limp efforts delivered for much of Amorim’s tenure.
