Manchester United’s flying form continues after Michael Carrick took charge of the team as an interim boss. The Red Devils, who were once out of the top ten, are now the only unbeaten team in the English Premier League in 2026. With being unbeaten in 10 successive games in the league, Manchester United will welcome Crystal Palace tomorrow at Old Trafford. This game is a great opportunity for the Red Devils, as a win would see them enter the top three by replacing Aston Villa in the point table.
Michael Carrick is pleased with the progress of his team. He said, “We are in a decent spot. We feel like we are moving forward, but it’s just about what’s in front of us, and trying to get to where we want to be, which is a little bit higher in the league.”
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace is not in a very good position. Their major problem is the inconsistency. The Eagles have lost 10 games and won 9, with 8 draws in the league. Crystal Palace will try hard to get points from Old Trafford to improve their standing in this competition.
