Michael Carrick's methods failing at Manchester United after Fulham draw

sports.yahoo.com

Manchester United drew 1-1 with Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday, leaving them 12th in the Premier League after a Lisandro Martinez own goal was cancelled out by a late Matheus Cunha deflected strike. Manager Michael Carrick faces mounting pressure with only one league win this season, as Fulham easily bypassed United's press and outran the visitors in distance and sprints. Carrick made no changes until the 77th minute, opting for Joshua Zirkzee over Shea Lacey. Critics blame INEOS's poor summer transfer approach and Carrick's lack of training intensity, noting his previous interim success with lighter workloads has not translated this season. A draw may not secure his position during the international break.
