“You can’t choose when you want to…”: Carrick aims damning accusation at United stars after Como humiliation

Manchester United boss Michael Carrick has publicly criticized his own players following their disastrous defeat to Como on Wednesday. The Red Devils found themselves trailing two minutes into the game after Nico Paz scored a stunning goal. Como continued to dominate, registering two more goals and a final score of 4-1. Substitute Joshua Zirkzee scored a consolation goal for United in stoppage time. United are currently on a seven-match losing streak, intensifying the pressure on Carrick.

Speaking to reporters after the match, Carrick acknowledged the team's poor performance and placed the blame squarely on his players. He stated, "It was more than disappointing; everybody's gotta take responsibility for that." Carrick expressed his frustration, adding, "Until you do that, you're not going to win football matches."

He further questioned his players' commitment, saying, "It stops with me, I'm absolutely fine with that. I accept it totally as a supporter of this football club." Carrick concluded by apologizing to the traveling supporters for the disappointing performance.
