Bryan Mbeumo says he has seen Manchester United manager Michael Carrick angry only once or twice, offering an insight into the temperament of the man leading the club.
The Manchester United forward spoke about Carrick’s character as the manager prepares the team for an away meeting with Everton in the third round of the Premier League.
Mbeumo’s description presents Carrick as someone whose anger is seldom seen. “I have seen Carrick angry only once or twice,” Mbeumo said.
Carrick took charge of the Red Devils in January, assuming responsibility for the team during the season. The 45-year-old later secured a longer-term agreement with Manchester United after the conclusion of the previous campaign.
That contract runs until 2028, confirming the club’s commitment to Carrick as he continues in the role of head coach.
The next competitive test for Carrick and his squad comes on Sunday, 6 September, when Manchester United travel to face Everton. The fixture forms part of the third round of the Premier League.
Mbeumo’s comments focus on the manager’s personality rather than the details of preparations for the match. His assessment suggests that Carrick generally maintains a calm approach, with visible anger described as an unusual occurrence.
Carrick’s appointment in January marked the beginning of his spell as the Manchester United manager. Following the end of the previous season, the club agreed a new contract with him, keeping the 45-year-old at Old Trafford until 2028.
Manchester United will now turn their attention to the visit to Everton, with the match representing the club’s third-round fixture in the Premier League. It will be an away game for Carrick’s side, who will travel to Everton’s ground on Sunday.
The meeting gives Mbeumo and his team-mates another opportunity to work under Carrick in a competitive match. For the manager, it is part of the programme that follows his appointment in January and the subsequent decision by Manchester United to extend his contract.
Mbeumo’s remarks place the focus on the contrast between Carrick’s public authority as manager and the rarity with which he shows anger. According to the forward, such moments have happened only once or twice.
With Carrick tied to Manchester United until 2028, the manager’s character will remain part of the story around the club as the Premier League season continues. The immediate focus, however, is the away contest against Everton on 6 September.
Manchester United’s trip to Everton is therefore the next fixture in Carrick’s tenure and the third-round assignment in the Premier League. It follows the manager’s January arrival and comes after the club confirmed a new contract for him at the end of last season.
