Carrick takes the blame as troubled Man United suffer League Cup misery

Michael Carrick accepted full responsibility for Manchester United's shocking League Cup exit against Brighton, following a defeat marked by a collapse after leading 2-0. The 3-2 loss, which saw Carrick and his teammates jeered off at Old Trafford, occurred after United had taken an early two-goal lead. Carrick, who previously led United to third place, was made permanent interim manager after the season.

United has now lost three times in six games across all competitions, putting pressure on Carrick to reverse the trend in their upcoming top-flight match against Fulham. The team's decision to make eight changes against Brighton revealed a lack of depth in their squad. Carrick acknowledged the fans' frustration and emphasized the need for improvement, stating they must turn the tide in their next match.
