Neville calls Man Utd 'pathetic' - but Carrick maintains belief
"Pathetic" Manchester United? Michael Carrick says not, but knows improvement is required to prove his old team-mate Gary Neville wrong.
Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville harshly criticized his team, describing the first 15 minutes of their 3-1 defeat to Fulham as "absolutely pathetic" and questioning the effort of midfielder Michael Carrick. However, Carrick remained confident, stating that his team finished strongly and did not display the lack of effort that Neville perceived.
The poor performance came after three other recent losses, including a 7-0 defeat against Liverpool and a 6-1 home defeat to both Tottenham and Manchester City. Frustrations among fans have been high, with recent matches against the Manchester derby and Brighton resulting in similar disappointments. Carrick believes his team's fitness is not the issue and emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive mindset, despite the current challenges.
United, who are currently 12th in the Premier League, have a long season ahead and still have potential for improvement.
