  "account": "Carrick's situation grows more dire as Man Utd's crucial starter limps out of Old Trafford following a Spurs match. Luke Shaw, the team's main left-back, walked out of the stadium on Saturday displaying a hesitant gait, raising concerns among supporters. The 31-year-old is currently the only senior left-back on the roster, with Patrick Dorgu, a full-back-turned-winger, sidelined after an injury during international play. Shaw was observed limping after Tottenham's game. Moreover, Noussair Mazraoui, who is behind Dorgu in the succession to fill Shaw's shoes, also suffered an injury during Morocco's match. Consequently, if Shaw is indeed unfit to play, Carrick might have to rely on young Harry Amass. Manchester United face Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano tomorrow, with Carrick giving no definite return date for Dorgu or Mazraoui. However, he did hint that the Dane could be out for a couple of weeks, which is a worrying prospect considering the number of games United have coming up. United's start to the season has been abysmal, with just six points from their first six Premier League matches – their worst start in 40 years. This has led to speculation that Carrick, who signed a two-year contract as head coach in May, could be on his way out. United's next match is against Leeds United at Elland Road on Sunday.",
