As Manchester United gears up for Saturday’s derby, Michael Carrick steps in amid concerns that this could be the club’s lowest point. Since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure nearly 13 years ago, the club has lacked a permanent head coach and European football, being eliminated early in both domestic cups. Ferguson’s influence looms large, highlighted by the stand bearing his name. Conversely, Manchester City, under Pep Guardiola’s leadership for a decade, has won 18 major trophies, showcasing stability and success. Carrick, recently appointed until the season’s end, will lead a team seemingly devoid of a long-term strategy. With only 40 competitive matches this season—the fewest since 1914-15—fans debate if this is truly the nadir of the post-Ferguson era.
