  "account": "Manchester United has one of their worst starts to a Premier League season under Michael Carrick, with five points from five games and an early knockout in the Carabao Cup. Despite the team's poor performance, the players seem to back Carrick. Sources indicate that despite booing Carrick's decision to substitute Kobbie Mainoo at Fulham, the players are not ready to turn against him. The dressing room accepts responsibility for United's poor start and emphasizes the need to turn things around. The squad considers the third fixture at Everton as a missed opportunity, having conceded a 95th-minute equaliser. Reports in Italy suggest that the club's hierarchy is starting to doubt Carrick's suitability to lead the team. It is speculated that United has already contacted Antonio Conte, without a club after leaving Napoli, to assess his availability for the managerial position.",
