Manchester United are looking to extend two notable streaks when they take on Everton.

Michael Carrick has made a strong start as Manchester United manager, picking up four wins and a draw in his first five matches.

He is also looking to extend another run. United have not lost in the Premier League for nine games, with their last defeat coming against Aston Villa back in December.

When did Manchester United last have an unbeaten run of ten matches?

Manchester United have not gone 10 games unbeaten in the Premier League since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s time in charge, when Michael Carrick was still on the coaching staff.

It is a milestone that neither Ralf Rangnick nor Erik ten Hag managed to reach during their spells at the club, and although Ruben Amorim played a part in the current streak, he oversaw just three of those matches before being replaced.

Darren Fletcher took charge of one game during this run, while Carrick has been at the helm for the other five. He will be hoping to add a sixth when United face Everton on Monday night.

The last time United put together a run like this was back in 2021 under Solskjaer, who led them through 14 straight matches without defeat.

Manchester United’s upcoming match at Everton

Manchester United make their first trip to the Hill Dickinson Stadium to face Everton, looking to come away with all three points.

A draw would keep the unbeaten run going, but it would also feel like a missed opportunity. Carrick’s side will be aiming for more than just a point.

United are currently fourth in the table and very much in the mix for a Champions League spot, but that could change by Monday night.
