The Devils’ Advocate podcast co-host Gaz Drinkwater praised Michael Carrick’s tactical decisions during Manchester United’s recent victory over Manchester City, suggesting that former manager Ruben Amorim’s choices were misguided. Carrick’s bold lineup changes, including dropping Matheus Cunha and using Bryan Mbeumo as a striker, led to a dominating performance against a title contender. Drinkwater emphasized that Carrick’s strategy provided clarity on Amorim’s failures, particularly regarding player positions and formations. He believes that sacking Amorim could have preserved both young talent Kobbie Mainoo and Manchester United’s culture.
