Carrick under pressure ahead of Manchester United's match against Fulham — Channel NewsAsia
In London, United Kingdom, Manchester United will play Fulham in a Premier League match on Sunday after a poor start to the season. As Channel NewsAsia reports, citing Reuters, Michael Carrick's team has secured only one win in four league matches.
Manchester United's poor start
United's only league victory came at home against Premier League newcomers Ipswich Town. On Wednesday, the team was knocked out of the League Cup after losing 2-3 to Brighton at Old Trafford despite leading 2-0.
The defeat was Manchester United's first in 50 years at home in a match in which the team had held a two-goal lead. After the game, Carrick said his team had good players and was capable of changing the situation, while also stressing the need to start winning again.
