Carrick brushes off sack talk after Man United's League Cup collapse to Brighton
–
Neutral summary
Michael Carrick insists he does not feel under pressure as Manchester United manager and called speculation about his future “ridiculous”, despite the team's poor start to the season. United were knocked out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, losing 3-2 at home to Brighton after leading 2-0 through Shea Lacey and Mason Mount. Carrick took the blame, saying: “We had the game exactly where we wanted it and let it get away from us.” The club have lost three of their first six games, and fans booed the players off the pitch, while pundits such as Jamie Redknapp criticised youngsters Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven. Carrick said the situation is “not a catastrophe or a disaster” and that the team can “work through” the tough time.
