Michael Carrick was full of emotion after Manchester United edged Fulham 3-2 in a thrilling encounter at Old Trafford, a result sealed by a dramatic late winner from Benjamin Šeško in front of the Stretford End, Softfootball reports.
United looked firmly in control after first-half goals from Casemiro and Matheus Cunha put them 2-0 up, but Fulham mounted a strong comeback to level the game late on. Just when it seemed the points might slip away, Šeško stepped up in the dying moments to restore United’s lead and spark wild celebrations inside the stadium.
Speaking to United media via the club’s official X handle, Carrick reflected on the moment and its significance, particularly for the young striker:
No, that’s the moment this place brings, you know, and you couldn’t put it, you couldn’t write it any better in front of the Stretford End.
It’s a big, big goal, a big moment for us and a big time for him as well. As a young player who keeps wanting to do well, it does the world of good to have sampled it and felt it.
That’s what it feels like. Not many get to feel that, but he’s had it, the boys have had it and we’ve all had it today.

The victory continues Carrick’s perfect start as caretaker manager, making it three wins from three since his appointment following the dismissal of Ruben Amorim. United have now beaten Manchester City, Arsenal, and Fulham in successive matches, a remarkable run that has reignited belief around Old Trafford.
With momentum building and confidence growing, Carrick’s side are firmly in the mix for a tight top-four race, and performances like this suggest United are determined to hold their own in the battle for Champions League qualification.
