According to Manchester Evening News, Carrick is currently not concerned about being sacked, as Man City's rule breach has captured all the attention.

A week ago, Manchester United was the focal point of speculation and discussion across the Premier League, but Man City has "rescued" them.

As this international break began, Manchester United once again came under intense scrutiny due to a poor start to the season, with mounting pressure on the manager.

With only 5 points from 5 matches, coupled with several poor results, questions and concerns about Carrick have grown significantly. Had it not been for Cunha's last-minute equalizer against Fulham, Manchester United's situation at Carrington over the past three weeks would have been even more difficult.

While Carrick is not in danger of being sacked, no club dominates the headlines like Manchester United. A three-week break without official matches is typically when risks and problems tend to surface, with analysis and criticism exacerbating the squad's issues and their causes.

However, the Premier League and Man City then intervened. The most dramatic story in Premier League history has shifted focus away from Manchester United and all other clubs.

From news of the verdict on Friday to the Premier League's announcement on Wednesday, radio phone-ins, newspaper articles, and social media discussions have been dominated by Man City, with everyone focused on what they've done and what happens next.

Carrick and Manchester United? Suddenly, everything went quiet. Currently, the only context in which Manchester United is genuinely mentioned is regarding the compensation they may believe they're owed if Man City's verdict stands.

Instead, Manchester United fans' attention has turned to mocking their city rivals and analyzing a verdict that could reshape Premier League history.

In the Premier League, there's always one club in crisis that becomes the focal point. There's always a critical moment when external scrutiny and pressure intensify. Manchester United is approaching that position, as is Tottenham Hotspur.

But this week, that position belongs to the league leaders with a perfect record. The defenses have been established at the Etihad Stadium, and Man City has developed a strong "siege mentality," redirecting external attention away from all other clubs in the league.

So for Manchester United, this week has been quite peaceful. Players returned to training this week, and while the international break brought some injury concerns and not everything went to plan, it also provided an opportunity for the squad to regroup and prepare ahead of crucial matches.

This environment is clearly more favorable when there's no speculation about Carrick's future or noise about what comes next. Perhaps it's just noise outside the pitch, but after speaking with longtime club staff, it's clear it has an impact. The more peaceful the atmosphere around the club, the easier things progress.

Thanks to Man City, that's now happening. When football returns, the pressure will return, and Carrick knows he needs results, but this week and next week, he has an ideal working environment.
