  "account": "Manchester United's manager, Michael Carrick, revealed he experienced no relief after his team’s hard-fought 3-2 Champions League win over Roma. Instead, he expressed pride in his players' dedication and effort. United secured a much-needed victory by overcoming a long losing streak, thanks to Matheus Cunha’s two late goals and a crucial assist from academy product Shea Lacey, who came on as a substitute. Carrick praised Lacey's impact, noting his ability and mischief on the field. Despite Cunha’s red card, the manager was disappointed with the final score but commended the players for their hard work and unity.",
  "summary": "Manchester United coach Michael Carrick stated he felt pride rather than relief following a 3-2 Champions League comeback victory against Roma at Old Trafford. According to Punch Nigeria, the team overcame a deficit to end a long winless run, featuring two late goals from Matheus Cunha before his dismissal. Academy product Shea Lacey, who entered the match as a substitute, provided the decisive assists and received special praise from Carrick for his ability and defensive work.\n\nManchester United captain Bruno Fernandes addressed rumors of a disagreement with Carrick following the match. Gulf News reports that Fernandes played a role in the victory after previously being dropped to the bench following a 4-1 defeat to Como. Fernandes told Prime Video that there had been no falling-out and that his exclusion from the starting lineup was a fair decision based on his performance rather than a punishment for questioning the manager's tactics.",
