Carrick rejects the idea that United are unmanageable

Michael Carrick rejeitou a noção de que o Manchester United é um clube impossível de treinar, e precisou de uma palavra para isso: não.

O técnico chega ao jogo de domingo em casa contra o Bournemouth sem vencer há sete partidas, e a pressão aumentou depois que os jogadores experientes Lisandro Martínez e Bruno Fernandes questionaram o recrutamento do clube e as táticas dele.

Carrick contesta a leitura de que seu time não pressiona. "É preciso ter cuidado ao dizer apenas 'não corre'," disse, antes de argumentar que a pressão é uma parte do jogo. "Você não precisa necessariamente pressionar para ganhar jogos de futebol. Às vezes precisa, às vezes não," disse, defendendo que a pressão é um componente do jogo e que números de corrida não definem resultados.

Ele aceitou que a derrota por 4 a 1 para o Como na Liga dos Campeões, na quarta-feira, foi inaceitável, e disse que a resposta tem de vir neste fim de semana: "Temos que ser um time diferente no domingo."

Nomeado em janeiro para substituir Ruben Amorim, Carrick disse que mantém contato regular com Ole Gunnar Solskjaer e com Sir Alex Ferguson, que o levou ao Old Trafford vindo do Tottenham em 2006.
