Manchester United's revival under Michael Carrick has been nothing short of remarkable, and young forward Amad has pinpointed the "biggest change" driving this transformation—a shift in team spirit that's as powerful as any tactical tweak.

Since taking the reins from Ruben Amorim at the start of the year, Carrick has breathed new life into the squad. His record speaks volumes: 10 wins, 2 draws, and just 2 losses from 14 games. Sunday's thrilling 3-2 victory over fierce rivals Liverpool wasn't just a statement win—it catapulted United into third place in the Premier League, six points clear of their Merseyside foes, and secured a coveted Champions League spot, which was the primary goal when Carrick was named interim head coach.

But it's not just the results that have improved. The performances are sharper, the belief is back, and the legendary midfielder has restored a sense of unity that had been missing. Optimism is building that United can finally push forward, and Carrick has emerged as the frontrunner for the permanent role. While the club insists they'll consider all options, the momentum is firmly behind him.

Amad, who has been open about his own struggles with form, credits Carrick's man-management as the catalyst. "Even when you are in tough moments, he's there to talk to you, he's there to help you," the Ivorian told Sky Sports. "I think the biggest change maybe is because the team is now more impactful. Like in the dressing room, we are really together. Every mistake is not a problem, your mistake is my mistake, so we are a team that fights for each other."

That togetherness is a far cry from the disjointed performances under Amorim, and it's a quality every sports fan knows is the foundation of any great comeback. For Amad, the hope is clear: "Everyone is happy to have him as manager. Everyone is with him. We will be happy if we have him next season."

Whether Carrick gets the job permanently remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—he's already wearing the badge of a leader who knows how to build a winning culture.
