What were Michael Carrick's initial impressions after the Arsenal game?
Hello and welcome back to a one-on-one from Sky Sports, the podcast where we chat to some of football's biggest names. I'm Joe Tomlinson and regular listeners will know that on the last episode, I was pretty damn excited to chat to the gaffer, Manchester United's new head coach, Michael Carrick. Well, I've quite literally just got back from Carrington and he was on brilliant form. So I couldn't wait to share my interview with you. And no wonder he's in a good mood. He's making it look pretty damn easy right now, isn't he? He followed up the Derby win against Man City by beating Arsenal in impressive fashion at the Emirates.
What a sensational hit from Matthias Konya!
Now, Fulham lie in wait on Sunday, so we chatted about that. We talked about Bruno Fernandes, who celebrates six years at Old Trafford this week. And we discussed what he's like in the dressing room, his communication style, Kobi Mainu, Dorgu's injury, Brian Mbumo, and loads more. Now, this was my first time chatting to Michael and what a calm, measured voice he is. I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed recording it. This is my Michael Carrick one-on-one. Michael, thank you so much for joining me today.
How does Michael Carrick feel about managing Manchester United compared to playing?
Nearly a week on from the Arsenal game now and the scenes at full time were pretty awesome. From your perspective, sweeter as a manager or sweeter as a player? Because you've done both for Manchester United now.
It's just different. It's just different. I think it's certainly not a feeling you ever get sick of or you've ever had enough of, you know. I think... All that kind of everything you put into a game, whether you're a player or a coach or managing, whatever it is, I think, and as a supporter, all the energy and the excitement, the passion and everything, the will to win goes into the game. When you come out the other side in such an important one, and late winners have always created the biggest emotion, really. To get it in such a game was a great feeling. you keep a lid on it to a point and it can last for so long, but certainly in the moment and the supporters, the way they've supported us, it was nice to have that few minutes with them.
that away end? I mean, your son was there, wasn't he? I saw the same. And my daughter.
What is Carrick's strategy for the upcoming match against Fulham?
Your daughter was in there. That's been bouncing from their perspective.
Yeah, for me, that's one of the biggest feelings of helping play a part in everyone getting that emotion, you know, that supporters come, pay a lot of money, travel and support us everywhere. That's what they want. So to be able to give them that, yeah. That's probably the biggest thing that's came back to me even during the week when you see people for that emotion, that excitement. Listen, it's not going to be like that every week and we understand that but it's kind of our duty to try and produce that and the boys were incredible and fully deserve all the credit they get.
Yeah, well, now we look at your first sort of five games in charge of this club. Some of the managers you've come up against, you know, Emery twice, Tupou, Guardiola. I mean, what is the secret here? Because other managers must be watching at home going, God, some of the scalps.
Yeah, cool players, I think. It is funny how things work out, you know, and certainly not getting too carried away with all that. I think we've... I just take it really as where we are now in this last two weeks and the two games and trying to build on, trying to start, obviously give us a start and just something to build on and a foundation and what games are coming up are more important to me than what's gone and
How does Carrick describe his communication style in the dressing room?
We're in a good place. The boys are there. They're really desperate to do well. They're a really tight group. If anything, at the moment, you're holding them back a little bit and they're so desperate for the next game. It's a great place to be at the moment. We've just got to keep that feeling and bottle it as best as we can going into the next game.
next game then we should talk about Fulham just sat in your press conference there there's lots of questions about how you might play in your build-up to these kind of games obviously it's not a Man City or an Arsenal in terms of club stature but do you take Fulham the exact same levels you would 100% yeah and I think anything else is is um first of all out of respect anyway but in terms of us for for going into the game it's criminal for us to think anything else um
