Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has defended his team after they equalled their worst Premier League start with five points from five matches, following a 1-1 draw at Fulham on Sunday. The result came after Lisandro Martinez's own goal, with Matheus Cunha's 89th-minute equaliser sparing United defeat.

United face bottom-placed Tottenham on October 10 after the international break, with trips to Atletico Madrid and Leeds following.
