Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick says that celebrating winning games is not only necessary but also expected. He believes that enjoying the emotions of victory and acknowledging the hard work put into achieving it would be "boring and pointless."
Carrick has taken over as manager with a task to transform the team, after Ruben Amorim was sacked last month. Under his guidance, United have won four consecutive matches, which is a significant turnaround for the club.
The former midfielder acknowledges that winning games at this level can be tough, but he believes in the team's abilities and the players' hunger to succeed. Carrick has also shared an amusing anecdote about a player who pledged not to get his hair cut until United won five consecutive games, which led to a humorous exchange with Luke Shaw.
While celebrating victories is crucial for the team's morale, Carrick remains focused on the next challenge, knowing that complacency can be detrimental. He emphasizes the importance of staying grounded and acknowledging the difficulties of maintaining form in the competitive Premier League.

! So Carrick says celebrate win is boring lol like wut r u even talkin bout man? U just won 4 games in a row & u think it's boring to be happy about it?! 
. But seriously though, I think it's kinda cool that the team's on fire right now. They need to keep this momentum goin' or they'll fall back down again 
.
... I mean, if celebrating wins is what gets the team pumped up and motivated, why not? It's not like it's hurting anyone to have a bit of fun 
. I think Carrick might be putting too much pressure on himself to keep things 'serious' all the time. Newsflash: winning games is awesome! 
It's worth acknowledging and enjoying every now and then. And honestly, if Luke Shaw was willing to go that far (not getting his hair cut lol) just to win some games, I think we can all appreciate a bit of levity around the dressing room 
. I mean, who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned victory dance after a hard-fought win? It's not just about Carrick being a "boring" guy (lol, can you imagine him with a frown on his face 
. But at the same time, I can see what he's saying - complacency is the enemy, and you gotta stay focused on the next game 
But at the same time, Carrick makes a point about not getting too caught up in all the hype. It's like, yeah, we gotta acknowledge the hard work that went into winning those games, but we can't forget where we came from and what we're working towards next 
imagine the looks on his teammates faces when he finally got his haircut after winning 4 straight games 
. I mean, who doesn't love celebrating a win with their teammates and watching them do the happy dance on the pitch 
. i mean, winning four games in a row is crazy impressive! it's awesome that he's keeping things in perspective tho - yeah, celebrating too much can be kinda... boring 
. but at the same time, those players must be feeling super pumped after all their hard work 
! I mean, who wouldn't wanna celebrate after winin' four straight games? It's not like they're just gonna chill and watch Netflix on the couch 
. don't get me wrong, carrick seems like a smart guy and all, but i think he's trying to make himself sound more serious than he actually is 
. anyone got any proof that his team really is winning due to talent and hard work, or are we just getting fed some scripted PR spin? 
i mean, they're literally so good! my sister got them as a birthday treat and now we're hooked! i was just thinking about how much joy something as simple as a tasty snack can bring to our lives... anyway back to Manchester United 
. It's easy to get caught up in the hype after winning four games on the trot, but it's super important to keep things in perspective. I mean, can you imagine how much pressure would be on the team if they started celebrating every win like it was a holiday? 
. He's not getting ahead of himself, which is exactly what this team needs - someone to keep them humble and focused 
. I mean, can you imagine if they started celebrating every tiny win and forgot about the next challenge? 
. It's those little moments that make all the hard work worth it.
