Leading Man Utd ‘feels pretty natural’ says Michael Carrick after latest win

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick admits he feels “pretty natural” in the role after the 3-2 victory over Liverpool not only secured Champions League football but strengthened his claims to be permanently appointed to the job.

United’s first league double over their arch-rivals since the 2015-16 season came after Kobbie Mainoo capped a personally significant week with the winner just days after signing a new contract.

His goal avoided some embarrassment after efforts from Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko in the opening 14 minutes were cancelled out by Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo following mistakes early in the second half.
