Carrick 'not bothered' by pressure - but should he be after this latest mess?
Manager Michael Carrick insists he does not feel under pressure after Manchester United's EFL Cup exit.
Sir Alex Ferguson, former Manchester United manager, witnessed his club lose at Old Trafford for the first time in 50 years. The class of 92 were babies when Brighton scored the winning goal against United in the Carabao Cup third-round match. Fans responded to the loss in various ways, from leaving the stadium to booing during the match.
Manager Michael Carrick remained unfazed by the pressure, stating that it doesn't bother him, as he is more concerned with winning games and having a positive atmosphere within the team. The most positive moment for Carrick was 15-year-old defender Shea Lacey's well-taken goal, which made him the first teenager to score on his first senior start for Manchester United since Marcus Rashford.
Carrick acknowledged the need to support young players like Lacey, but emphasized that the team's performance and results should ultimately determine their future.
