Michael Carrick
January 2026
Maguire said Carrick remains the sharpest passer at the club and is hands-on in sessions, reinforcing the impact of the new coaching setup at Carrington. Maguire described Carrick stepping into drills for demonstrations and “banging it through the lines,” using minimal touches to set the standard while the squad repeats the work at volume.
Ruben Amorim
November 2025
Amorim has United training six days a week, with only Mondays guaranteed off, using the lack of European fixtures to impose a demanding schedule aimed at raising standards after last season’s failures and rebuilding a culture of hard work and discipline. A typical week at Carrington now features high-intensity Tuesday sessions, long Wednesday tactical and physical blocks, lighter Thursday recovery, focused Friday game-prep, matchday Saturday and Sunday recovery, with Amorim favouring short video clips and on-pitch walkthroughs instead of long analysis meetings.
