Man Utd 'didn't look ready' - but hurting Carrick remains calm

Manchester United's performance against Hull City left much to be desired, according to the team's supporters and critics alike. The visitors were greeted with news that two trains back to Manchester had been cancelled, causing frustration among the 2,400-strong traveling contingent. United's inability to create chances and their lack of fitness were among the main concerns, with Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer expressing their disappointment.

However, Carrick, the team's captain, remained composed and emphasized that the loss was just one game. He urged his teammates to learn from the experience and come back stronger.
