Michael Carrick’s Manchester United reign has hit a significantly bumpier patch this season, but the bigger picture remains seriously impressive.

Since taking charge in January, the 44-year-old has overseen 26 Premier League matches, winning 13, drawing seven and losing six.

That’s 46 points at an average of 1.76 per game – the sort of rate that would equate to 67 points, which is borderline top four but probably some way off a title charge. Only Manchester City have scored more goals than the Red Devils since Carrick was parachuted in.

There is, however, a little more context to that remarkable run now. United have won just one of their nine Premier League matches so far in 2026-27, leaving them 16th in the table.

Saturday’s 2-0 loss at Chelsea extended their winless run to seven matches.

Still, you look at the likes of Liverpool (5th), Chelsea (7th), Aston Villa (9th), Newcastle United (15th) and Tottenham (18th) and are reminded that the picture could be a whole lot worse.

Here’s the breakdown of the Premier League table since Carrick took charge in January.
