Carrick gave fans ‘taste’ of Ferguson era – Rooney

Ruben Amorim was fired, but Carrick, 44, was appointed as United’s interim head coach on Tuesday until the end of the season.

At Old Trafford, Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu scored the winning goal on Saturday, earning them a deserved victory.

Rooney, who won five Premier League titles while playing for United alongside Carrick, believes that under the leadership of his former team-mate, a significant change occurred in the home crowd.

Did you notice the difference between the BBC studios and the stadium when I wasn’t there? On the most recent episode of the BBC podcast The Wayne Rooney Show, Rooney remarked, “Even when he]Michael Carrick] walked out before the game and he’s trying to pump the crowd up.”

“I believe the fans felt something yesterday,” he said. Under Sir Alex Ferguson, they experienced what it was like. Some of the younger fans have endured terrible experiences since Fergie left, in actuality over the past ten and thirteen years.

They haven’t witnessed a team’s outstanding performance. I’ve also played for some of those teams. Some of them I’ve participated in.

They haven’t seen a team that play that well, with that enthusiasm and conviction for both fighting and being brave with the ball as well as being resilient and difficult to play against.

Mbeumo, a Cameroon international who had just returned from Africa Cup of Nations duty, scored the winner in the first half, with Dorgu doubled the lead 11 minutes later.

Rooney described it as “the best performance” he had come across from United in a long time.

“I don’t believe what Michael has done for the team was rocket science.” The former England striker described it as a straightforward change to his formation strategy.

“I believe everyone has been talking a lot about Ruben Amorim’s back three formation and how it worked for Man United.”

He changed that, so he changed it, but remember when I discussed United’s needs in the previous podcast, it’s really simple: run and work hard. The players did that, which was so encouraging.

I thought Amad and Dorgu on the wings were excellent, the full-backs were helped out, and they formed a compact shape, which I mentioned, and they hit Man City on the break.

Rooney claimed that United’s win over City was “night and day from what we’ve been seeing”under the Portuguese and that Amorim was dismissed on January 5th.

Rooney continued, “You can feel it from the fans as well, the difference in team energy, the confidence, the belief, the composure on the ball at the right times.”

“From what we’ve been seeing, it was a great day because it was both night and day.” When we discuss Man United’s DNA, it made me think that…
