The Old Trafford boss insisted his apology to the travelling fans at the end of the game held no extra significance as pressure builds on his position.

Carrick unconcerned over future despite ‘unacceptable’ Como loss

Michael Carrick, Manchester United's manager, demonstrated little concern over his team's heavy 4-1 defeat to Como in the Champions League. United's humiliating loss marked their seventh winless match across all competitions. Despite the poor performance, Carrick refused to speculate about his managerial future, stating he hadn't given his position much thought.

He emphasized the importance of showing appreciation towards traveling fans after the match, but didn't feel any additional pressure to retain his job. United's manager criticized his team's lack of intensity, spirit, and aggression, describing their performance as "the total opposite" of their 1-1 draw at Leeds. The Italian side, managed by former Arsenal and Barcelona player Giuseppe Fabregas, marked a significant victory in their inaugural European campaign.

However, Fabregas urged caution, reminding his team they were just beginning their journey in European competition.
