'Carrick presiding over a club whose supporters feel deflated'
Gary Neville took a deep breath after Lisandro Martinez's own goal put Fulham ahead just over an hour into what had been a laboured Manchester United performance, and delivered his verdict.

"I've watched Manchester United since the age of five and that's the worst 15 minutes I've ever seen,"…
Gary Neville, a former Manchester United captain, delivered a scathing verdict on the team's recent performance. He stated that a 15-minute period during the match was the worst he had ever witnessed. Carrick, the current captain, seemed bewildered by the criticism, but the magnitude of recent losses and the team's lackluster efforts had left the fans disheartened.
United suffered a defeat at Brighton after losing the Manchester derby to Manchester City, who played with only ten men. The frustration among supporters reached a boiling point when Carrick substituted Kobbie Mainoo late in the game. Despite Carrick's claim that Kobbie was fine, the fans' boos in response demonstrated their dissatisfaction.
With only five points from five games, United currently sits 12th in the standings, trailing the leaders by ten points. The financial implications of their touting crackdown and the high cost of a new stadium further add to the club's troubles. After this season, the extent of their debt will be revealed in their full-year financial results.
Amid these challenges, Carrick is now leading a club whose supporters feel deflated, even if he may not acknowledge it.
