Ruben Amorim and Erik ten Hag's policy of forcing Manchester United players to train the day following matches has been scrapped by Michael Carrick. His second temporary appointment has begun with a commanding 2-0 home victory over Manchester City, a thrilling 3-2 away win at Arsenal, and a stoppage-time triumph against Fulham. One aspect Amorim and Ten Hag shared was their desire to conduct training sessions the day after matches. Carrick has also shortened training sessions whilst ramping up the intensity of exercises, and has modified the timing of his squad's arrival for fixtures.
