  "account": "Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick spoke after his team's 1-1 draw against Leeds on Sunday, describing it as a \"fresh start.\" Despite the winless streak now lasting six matches in all competitions, Carrick sees positive signs in the team's attitude. Leeds' Dominic Calvert-Lewin equalized Bryan Mbeumo's first-half goal, keeping United's recent losing run intact. Carrick, who recently started Lisandro Martinez at Leeds and then had to replace him due to injury, emphasized the importance of continuing to do the right things for the right reasons. He acknowledged the team's desire to perform well for each other and highlighted the club's significance to the players. United, currently 13th in the Premier League, will look to end their six-match winless run against Como on Wednesday before attempting to kickstart their season at home to Bournemouth. Carrick remains realistic about the situation but believes the club can turn things around.",
  "summary": "Michael Carrick said Manchester United's hard-fought 1-1 draw at bitter rivals Leeds on Sunday felt like a \"fresh start\" even though their long wait for a win goes on.\"It felt like a bit of a fresh start, if I'm honest, today in where we're at and accepting it and doing something about it.",
