Carrick dismisses 'ridiculous' Man Utd easy start talk
Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick says it is "ridiculous" to say his side has an easy start to the Premier League season because they play two promoted teams.
Michael Carrick has firmly rejected suggestions that Manchester United has been given an "easy start" to the new season, dismissing the notion as "ridiculous." The midfielder pointed out that the team will face two newly promoted sides, Hull and Ipswich, after hosting play-off winners Hull in the opening match. Carrick emphasized that it will be a tough start for both teams and expressed no confidence in securing victories from the opening two fixtures.
He also addressed fan concerns about the club's transfer activities, stating that the squad is being strengthened, and talks with Brighton over a potential signing are ongoing. Carrick reminded fans that historically, United's opening two matches against newly promoted sides have not always gone as planned, with the club failing to secure wins in those instances.
The article highlights the club's history of delayed transfers and the need for patience, urging supporters to focus on the bigger picture rather than early season results.
