  "account": "Manchester United's manager Michael Carrick has urged for a swift resolution to Manchester City's financial regulations case. The Citizens have been found guilty on virtually all charges related to severe breaches of the Premier League's financial rules. However, City have denied any wrongdoing and are appealing the independent commission's decision. In a press conference on Friday, Carrick stated that \"What I will say, the sooner it gets sorted for everyone's benefit, is essential.\"\n\nCarrick, a former United player during City's 2011-12 Premier League title-winning campaign, was present at Sunderland when Sergio Aguero scored the injury-time winner against Queens Park Rangers to secure the title for City. He also played twice in the 2017-18 season when United finished second to City. If Manchester City lose their appeal, they could face significant penalties, including the stripping of their Premier League titles won between 2009 and 2018.\n\nCarrick acknowledged that even if City's titles are added to his collection, he had missed out on the emotional experience of winning on that occasion. He expressed that \"I don’t even know what’s going to happen, but if we did end up at some point, something along the lines of if changes, it doesn’t change the emotion of that moment. Won’t get it back.\" United will face Tottenham Hotspur in their first game following the international break on Saturday.",
