Manchester United's 2-0 victory over Manchester City has been hailed as one of the best performances in a long time from the Red Devils, with many fans feeling like they've finally experienced what it means to be part of Sir Alex Ferguson's legendary team. Wayne Rooney, who won five Premier League titles alongside Carrick at United, believes that Michael Carrick's influence is starting to make its mark on the young fans who have been through a tough spell since Fergie left the club.
Rooney said that the fans felt something special during the game, with the energy and excitement in the stadium reminiscent of the good old days under Ferguson. He noted that the team's performance was "night and day" compared to what they've been seeing under Ruben Amorim, with a renewed sense of confidence, belief, and composure on the ball.
Carrick, who took over as interim head coach this week, has brought a new dynamic to the team, focusing on simple tweaks such as formation changes. The result was a convincing win over City, with Bryan Mbeumo scoring the opener before Patrick Dorgu sealed the victory. Rooney praised Carrick's approach, saying that it wasn't rocket science but rather a return to basics.
The former England striker also highlighted the importance of hard work and running for each other, qualities that were evident in United's performance against City. He believes that this new approach will be a glimpse into what is to come over the next 16 games, with many fans feeling a renewed sense of hope and optimism about the club's future.
As Rooney put it, "Them fans felt that yesterday and hopefully that's a glimpse of what we've got coming in the next 16 games." It seems that Michael Carrick has already made a positive impact on Manchester United, bringing back some of the old magic that defines the Red Devils' identity.

they actually won 2-0 against city 
i feel like we need to see more of this kind of performance from them tho, been a while since they've had one of those kinds of games 
bryan mbemo's goal was insane!! 
and rooney saying it wasn't rocket science just got me thinking what's changed now 
is it really just carrick coming in with his old-school approach? hope he can keep this up for the rest of the season 
. I mean, it's just a formation tweak and a few running drills 
. Don't get me wrong, those are essential things, but they're not the secret sauce that's gonna make United great again 
. We need to talk about the players themselves, not just the coach 
. I'm still not convinced that we've got the quality in the squad to compete with the top teams 
. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of a 2-0 win, but let's see how this plays out over the next few months 
. Can they keep it up? 
. It's all about embracing the little things, like hard work and running for each other (as Rooney said, it's not rocket science, but it's those small acts that can make a BIG difference). This new dynamic under Carrick might just be the spark needed to bring back that old magic, and I think we can all learn from this. It's about finding what works, being patient, and trusting in the process 
! Now they're playing like their old selves again 
. I'm loving the fact that he's not trying to reinvent the wheel, just tweaking things here and there to get the team firing on all cylinders 
. And you can't help but feel a sense of hope when Rooney says they're heading in the right direction 
. We've been through some tough times since Fergie left, but this win over City was a much-needed wake-up call 
️. Maybe we'll be back on top soon! 
!! i was like whoa wayne rooney said it felt like fergie's era again 
i'm so down for more of this new vibe at old trafford 
! Carrick's making some smart moves, going back to basics is all about simplicity and heart, it's not rocket science, just hard work & running for each other 
! Rooney knows what he's talking about, this win over City was a major confidence booster, and if Carrick's got it right, United's future is looking bright 
just watched that game with my mates, it was pure nostalgia... felt like we were all screaming at the same time when they scored those 2 goals. Carrick's approach is so refreshing, no fuss, no messing about, just get the job done 
. The fans' energy was electric, reminded me of when Fergie was at the helm 
! 
. And with 16 games left in the season, I'm feeling pretty optimistic about this team's chances 
I'm loving this new vibe at Old Trafford! 
. Rooney makes a point that it wasn't rocket science, just get out there and give it your all 
. It's like a breath of fresh air after that tough spell under Amorim 
.
