Carrick takes blame for Man Utd cup exit, demands quick response

Michael Carrick, Manchester United's manager, admitted responsibility for his team's Carabao Cup elimination after they lost 3-2 to Brighton at Old Trafford. The match saw United start strongly, leading 2-0, but Brighton fought back with goals from Charalampos Kostoulas, Pascal Gross, and Maxim De Cuyper. Carrick emphasized that the team's performance was on him, stating that if the team won, people would praise his management, and if they lost, it would be on him.

He acknowledged that the game had shifted from a strong start to a poor finish, and he needed his squad to respond quickly to the defeat. Carrick also dismissed concerns about external pressure and remained focused on winning matches, believing that the team has the capability to turn things around.
