Carrick keeps calm despite Man Utd misery, Sage beaten in first game as Palace boss
LONDON: Michael Carrick insisted he would not blast his Manchester United’s flops despite a dismal 2-0 defeat at Hull in their opening game of the Premier League season, while Crystal Palace boss Pierre Sage suffered a debut loss against Everton.
Michael Carrick remained composed despite Manchester United's 2-0 loss to Hull in the Premier League opener. Hull, returning to the Premier League for the first time since 2017, overwhelmed the woeful United with a strong performance. Despite the defeat, Carrick refused to lose his temper, aiming to avoid the emotional outbursts that marked his previous manager's tenure.
He emphasized the need to address the issues arising from facing different systems. Pierre Sage, Crystal Palace's new manager, faced his own setback with a 2-0 defeat to Everton. Under Sage's predecessor, the Eagles had achieved notable victories, including the FA Cup and UEFA Conference League the previous season. However, Sage's debut ended bitterly, with goals from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Thierno Barry.
