First 10 days of Manchester United's new season could provide valuable insights, according to midfielder Michael Carrick. Carrick criticized fans' perception that the team has been given a "favourable start" due to their matches against newly promoted Hull and Ipswich Town. Carrick emphasized that it's not an easy start for either team and acknowledged the challenges ahead.
Fans have been agitated over the club's lack of transfer signings since Youri Tielemans' £35m move from Aston Villa in July. While talks are ongoing with Brighton over Carlos Baleba, a deal has not been finalized. Carrick reiterated that the club is actively working to strengthen the squad, and they understand the importance of acquiring additional players.
Historically, Manchester United's opening fixtures against newly promoted sides have not yielded two victories. The club has only managed this feat twice in the Premier League era. Carrick advised fans to temper their expectations about early season results based on past performances.
