Today (Friday), Michael Carrick has been named as the Premier League's Manager of the Month for January 2026. And, though it’s only 31 days since he returned to Old Trafford, his dramatic appointment as head coach already feels about as distant as the Battle of Hastings.
United are happily in fourth place. The form team in the league. Happiness abounds, so fans, pundits and everyone else must look to the future for something newsworthy, something tasty – not what happened two weeks ago, let alone a month.
Could United finish in the top three? Will Bruno Fernandes break the Premier League assists record?
