Carrick Slams ‘Lazy’ Manchester United Criticism and Backs Fernandes’ Leadership Amidst Early Season Struggles
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has strongly refuted “lazy and easy” criticism directed at his team and captain Bruno Fernandes after their 2-0 opening-day defeat to Hull City, emphasizing that a single loss does not signify a complete lack of leadership or passion. He stressed the need for deeper analysis beyond superficial judgments.
Carrick also confirmed that new £70m signing Carlos Baleba from Brighton will miss United’s upcoming match against Ipswich and potentially face a three-week layoff due to an ankle injury, delaying his debut until mid-October.
