Carrick demands Man Utd response after 'pathetic' jibes
LONDON: Michael Carrick struck a defiant tone after Manchester United equalled their worst start to a Premier League season, but Sunday’s woeful 1-1 draw at Fulham left the beleaguered boss under mounting pressure.
Michael Carrick remains defiant despite Manchester United's dire start to the Premier League season following a 1-1 draw against Fulham. United's poor performance, culminating in a farcical own goal, has left their embattled boss under growing pressure. Trailing to Lisandro Martinez's own goal, United were on track for a third consecutive defeat, adding to their woes which include a wretched 2-0 loss to Hull at the season's opening weekend and a League Cup loss to Brighton.
United, currently sitting in 12th place with five points, have set a new low in points after five matches in the Premier League era. Manager Carrick, who was expected to build on last season's climb to third place, is now facing growing questions about his transfer policy and fitness regime. Ex-United defender Gary Neville described the second-half performance as the worst 15 minutes he'd ever witnessed, emphasizing the lack of effort.
Carrick remains optimistic, stressing that his team can learn from their mistakes and respond positively as a group.
