Manchester United interim manager Michael Carrick has made a huge change to training as he takes over from Ruben Amorim.

The former England midfielder has had a perfect start to life at the club, picking up key wins against Manchester City and Arsenal as his side aims for a top 4 finish to secure Champions League football.

Since Amorim’s departure, Carrick has changed the formation, added United academy product Kobbie Mainoo to the starting line up and has now made one more change which may improve the side even further. 

As reported by The Mirror and The Express, Carrick has scrapped Amorim and Erik ten Hag's policy of forcing United players to train the day after matches. 

United's players are clearly buying into Carrick's tactics since Amorim left and this new rule change will have likely been a complaint from players who felt that training immediately after a game was too harsh. 

Reports state that the recovery days have been moved to two days after the final whistle of a game, giving players more time to rest and recover which may also help deter injuries. 

United host Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford this weekend before travelling to face West Ham on Tuesday in what are two tough tests for Carrick who will be pushing to keep his unbeaten record intact.
