Scott McTominay sends message to Michael Carrick after Manchester United beat Arsenal
Scott McTominay says he has ‘so much love’ for Michael Carrick after Manchester United’s 3-2 win over Arsenal.
After guiding United to a 2-0 victory at home to Manchester City in his first game in charge, Carrick followed that up with another impressive result against Mikel Arteta’s side at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
McTominay has extensive experience of playing alongside and being coached by Carrick before United sold him to Napoli in a £25.7 million deal in August 2024.
Asked if he surprised by Carrick’s start as United manager, McTominay replied: ‘No I’m not, to be honest. He’s such a great guy, Michael.
‘I’ve got so much love and respect for him, him and Kieran McKenna and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer helped me so much in that period where they were at Manchester United and I wish them nothing but the absolute best.
‘The two results they’ve had have been amazing, especially for me to watch. I’m very, very proud of all the players and long may it continue.
