  "account": "Michael Carrick's Manchester United suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 draw against Everton, with the player admitting his team didn't do enough to clinch the victory. Bryan Mbeumo gave United the lead early on with a well-placed shot, but Everton equalized in the 83rd minute through Tyrique George. Benjamin Sesko nearly secured the win for United in the 88th minute with a header, but Ainsley Maitland-Niles scored a crucial equalizer as substitutes Leny Yoro and Noussair Mazraoui underwhelmed. Carrick expressed disappointment with his team's inability to maintain their lead, avoiding direct criticism of specific players. He praised the team's overall performance, noting they were dangerous and defended well, but conceded they should have seen the game out. United's next match is against Sabah in their Champions League opener on Thursday.",
